It is a little disappointing when you can't find much fanwork for a pairing but then it isn't other peoples job in fandom to cater solely to my interests.

Thank you. I wish that wad a more prevalent attitude.

I ship - juggeranaut pairing or rarepair, canon or not - because I find the idea of the particular relationship appealing, not because I think I need to ship something. I've had fandoms where I didn't ship anyone at all (at least not beyond giving a nod of approval to a cannon ship or two). If I wasn't shipping a popular ship, I wouldn't necessarily be shipping a less popular one in it's place. As for fanworks - it's not like a set amount of fanfic that will be produced each year and it may or may not be distributed fairly. People just write what they want to write. If they weren't writing about their favorite pairing, they might be writing about some other popular ship in a different fandom, or writing gen, or not writing at all - it's not a given that they'd write rarepairs in the same fandom as their OTP.

I'm like this as well. I've never been able to get into shipping in the Harry Potter fandom. It just doesn't interest me in the slightest. At all. So the vast majority of fic just doesn't do anything for me. But that's okay. Sometimes you'll hit the jackpot (I sure did in MCU) but sometimes you won't.

This.

I have a some juggernaut ships and some painfully obscure ships. Strangely enough, the potential amount of fanwork that may or may not exist for them has never been a factor in whether or not they appeal to me. I don't really care whether there's fanwork at all, if I ship the thing then I ship the thing.

My current fandom has always had a very vocal subset who seem to think that demanding people stop writing for the juggernaut pairing will somehow mean we'll all switch to writing the ships they think we should be writing instead. I don't deny that there'll always be a minority who will write for whatever they see is popular, but I don't think it's ever crossed their minds that if the rest of us wanted to be writing for those other/smaller ships, we already would be. Hating on us for not doing what they want us to do (and, 99% of the time, aren't even doing themselves to promote their ship, just whining that other people need to do it instead) isn't exactly going to endear us to the cause.
