If you want other characters/pairings to get love, then get cracking! Write fics, draw fanart, bake cookies shaped like them, whatever. You're not gonna accomplish anything by hating on the big ship -- they're popular for a reason (most of the time, at least).

K/S is one of those ships where I can totally see why it's as hugely popular as it is. But I get why it would be frustrating to have it be so overwhelmingly dominant. I think the structure of the show and then the subsequent elevation of the K/S relationship as a pop culture cornerstone kind of made it inevitable, though, in a way.

Oh, trust me, I do get the feeling! I have a tendency to fall for the smaller pairings, and obscure fandoms in general. There's one old fandom I was into, that had two huge pairings with the main character -- meanwhile I was off shipping him with a character no one else even seemed to like. To this day (or at least the last time I checked), every existing fic is either written by me, or for me in some exchange.

I love Kirk/Spock, and I agree with you about its popularity being kinda inevitable. It was one of those classic firsts, and it'll always be special and remembered for that.

It's not that simple

I have tried to steer discussion in my fandom away from the main pairing, which I don't ship (but don't exactly hate either - it's just a very boring to me) and toward other characters, whom I think are 10 times more interesting than one of the characters in the pairing. The other characters were also on the show a lot longer than the character in the pairing that I find uninteresting, so there's more to discuss about them. I've also written fanfic featuring the other characters.

No bites! No one seems to be willing to discuss anything but the main pairing, or read fanfic that doesn't feature the main pairing (but does feature those characters, who aren't paired but are friends). It's terribly frustrating, so I have thought "What's the point of wasting my time when this fandom is so obsessed with just one pairing?" and given up. I'll still read fanfic, but I get so tired of other, very interesting and wonderful, characters increasingly being ignored.
