Parks and Recreation

(Anonymous) 2015-04-26 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I am surprised there's not a fandom given that it does seem to be an internet darling, if nothing else. And yes, it's a sitcom, but it's a fairly clever sitcoms that in a lot of ways seems aimed towards the fandomy sort. The only comms I ever found for it were dead or really quiet or just about the Ben/Leslie fanfic. (Which I'm all for, but... no one's written fic about Pawnee? Really?)

No obvious slash ships.

AYRT - Is that seriously all anyone's in fandom for anymore, though?

Besides, I dunno, Ben/Chris... actually... I could really see Ben/Chris. (Although he does try setting Ben up with a woman at some point, but Chris is also the type to do that for an ex because he "literally" wants nothing more than for his exes to be happy.)

It's not the only important thing, but it is the most important thing (for Internet shippy fandom, specifically).

And no one's going to ship Ben with anyone but Leslie. That's just not allowed.

AYRT - Well, but I have been in fandoms where shipping wasn't the most important things. Although maybe they were the minority.

And true, but you could do past!Ben/Chris.

There are also some Tom/Jean-Ralphio shippers out there (not many, granted, but there's a handful of fic for them)

I think sitcoms in general just don't attract large fandoms. I'm a lifelong fan of F.R.I.E.N.D.S., and the fic for the show is pretty paltry, considering it lasted for 10 seasons. And even the existing fic has very little to offer by way of ship variation.

Fic for 30 Rock seems to be much the same.

Also, I think fandom is general tends to build up around/flock to media with fantastical world-building- the supernatural, werewolves, witches, etc. Since most, if not all, sitcoms are essentially set in our world, they don't have as much to offer as escapism.
