Re: OP

[dreemyweird]

It doesn't really work this way. You may avoid reading romance as much as you wish, but when you go into your fandom tag and NONE of the updates made over the previous month are gen, it is hard not to get bitter.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Then write your own.

Stop expecting the rest of the world to cater to you.

Re: OP

[dreemyweird]

1) I'm already a gen writer
2) I expect no one to "cater" to me? As the OP rightly pointed out, we all have controlling or judgmental desires; this is mine. I'm not expecting anyone to do anything about it. I would actually consider it super creepy to try and change the situation in any way other than writing gen of your own.

This just in: people are no longer allowed to feel annoyed by things they find annoying!

Re: OP

I feel for you. It's similar to shipping rarepairings.

Perhaps spread where you look for fic, not just always in the same archives, or try different fandoms? Although that last one is not ideal, I know.

That failing, why not run your own genfic fest for that fandom? Actually, now I've thought of it, I fancy running one of my own.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

I've thought about trying to run a pairing week for my rarepair on tumblr, but I've got no presence in my fandom and I've never ran anything like it. Not to mention the fact I'm not sure if anyone would be interested.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Try reaching out to a few fellow shippers with the suggestion. I think the pairing week things usually involve some amount of organization beforehand. If you get nervous about doing that, try suggesting it on anon.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

That may be a bit difficult. I can really only think of a couple shippers at most. Not sure if that would be enough or if they'd even be interested. And I'd be worried about bothering them. Even if I asked them as anon.

Though the more I think about it, the more I kinda want to try. Should get myself a tumblr and begin to interact with the fandom. I'm a bit apprehensive, but hopefully it would be worth it.

Thanks, anon.

Re: OP

Also try advertising your fest.

And don't worry if not many people take part first time. Some things need time to grow.

Why have it just on tumblr? Make it multiplatform and you'll have a much better chance of attracting people.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you so much for the advice, anon. :) I may actually give this a shot.

Tumblr is where the fandom is most active. And most of the comms for the fandom on LJ are dead. It doesn't have much of a presence on dreamwidth either.
