Burned Out

Burnout is the feeling a fan gets after working hard and getting insufficient egoboo in return -- it is not caused simply by working hard, but by working hard with too little thanks. Often a cause of gafiation. Becoming burned out is a hazard of crifanac and hyperfanac.

From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959
Sort of a synonym for gafia, brought on when a fan takes on more obligations than he can handle and withdraws from fandom, his enthusiasm boiled dry.
