Well, I don't think they're doing it to spite you or anything.

But, yes, it can be frustrating as hell to like a pairing and have there be little to no fanworks for it.

Suggestions:
You could write your own fic, hoping to encourage others to do the same.
You could do kinkmeme focused on specific pairings.
You could do prompts on fandom kinkmemes and the like. Also, some writers take requests, suggestions, and prompts.
You could find a pairing that's already popular that you could get behind in a new to you fandom.

Ah, that is fighting a losing battle I'm afraid.
I was in a small fandom and I tried to stir up interest by fics, essays, or just talking to other people about it but if a ships not meant to sail then there is nothing for it.

As for finding a popular ship, sometimes it's not so easy. I don't willingly choose the rare pair because it's the path less traveled, it's just a matter of tastes.

Thankfully my current fandom is big and doesn't attract drama, but I do know what it's like to be on the smaller side.

ayrt

I don't willingly choose the rare pair because it's the path less traveled, it's just a matter of tastes. Yeah, no, I figured as much. It's just that sometimes, coming at something in a different way can sort of reset your perspective. Sometimes if you go into something already wanting to like something, you find things about it to like that you might not have noticed if you came into it blind (although it can backfire if it doesn't live up to expectations).
