And why can't you get into them?

Harry Potter because there is too much fanfic and I can't find what I want. :(

I start reading fics but realize I don't really like that pairing. Or that I can't find the tropes/kinks I want. OR ANY GEN FIC!

If you're a canon shipper, there's always PhoenixSong. A bit old school but it has some newer fics. ~~Maybe including mine.~~

Not gonna lie...I have no idea who that is. I've only seen the movies. So, based on what I know I can only assume you are shipping the Phoenix that cries and...that one song they sing during Christmas time.

Harry Potter is so overloaded with fics. The best was way back (oh circa 2003-2005) I'd use the FictionAlley boards and they had a special board called Nifflers where people would recommend various stories and you had to give a reason for that particular story. It's how I used to find so many gems.

Now I probably couldn't find it.

I miss super active HP fandom.

It is. :( I just tried to use a audiofic database to find something I might want to read. I figured if someone took the time to fic it, it must be good!

Sadly, it just made me realize how much I want Draco/OMC or Draco-Gen fic about him having to navigate the Muggle world.

OMG! I forgot all about that, but yes!

I miss the active fandom as well.

Any gen? The HP fandoms has lots of gen. Its so massive it has a lot of everything. I forgot which one's which, but Fiction Alley devides their fics into blocks of genres. For example, the Riddikulus section is for humorous fics, and so on.

I shall have to look this up! I've tried looking for Gen on Ao3 to no success. And fic rec groups all seem to focus on one pairing or another. Thanks for the site.

Tales series.

It looks like everyone's having fun with it and my console options are limited at the moment. :(

I'm sure you could emulate at least some of them, if your computer's able to handle it. Phantasia is on the SNES, which is pretty lightweight as far as emulators go, but a couple of the more popular ones (Symphonia, Abyss, Legendia) you might be able to swing. I know PCSX2 is the go-to for PS2 emulation, but I'm not sure about Gamecube. Worth checking out?

Steven Universe, for reasons that have made themselves completely obvious over the last 6 months. At most, I just look at the pretty fan art that gets reblogged by friends.

The Old Republic. I occasionally interact with a small handful of people -who are very lovely folks-, but the rare few times I've poked my head into the door crack, it's enough to make me turn around and 'Nope' out, for reasons far too many for me to list off here.

Mortal Kombat, but only because I got into it after swearing off getting heavily involved in fandoms. Not sure what it's like, but I'm probably better off not knowing, I think.

Teen Wolf. Not for lack of interest in the show, but he abuse so much of the fic is Stiles with an older male Hale (Derek or Peter, take your pick) or various AUs, some of which may as well not even be Teen Wolf anymore.

I really wanted to get into AtLA, but all the shippers were so annoying. Every last one. It didn't help that I found Zutara intriguing, but the fandom seemed too immature. :/

I feel you. I sometimes am a bit embarrassed to admit that Zutara is the atla ship that interests me the most, because they have such a reputation for drama and batshittery.

I would go for it.

I used to be pretty critical of Zutara shippers but a lot of them have calmed down and I think those who are left are more mature. So I think it'd be worthwhile to look into. :)

I'm a Kataang and Maiko shipper but I do feel a bit more for Zutara fans -- I'm not a shipper of it myself (I always saw Katara as being the little sister to Zuko Azula should have been) but they're both well written characters with intense feelings so I can definitely see where people are coming from!

I agree with this. I read a few Zuko/Mai fics because it was the only pairing I actually really liked. But I really wish there were more gen fics that just explore the universe.

Legend of Korra, specifically Korrasami. :/ I just find it to be very boring (both the ship and the show), which makes me really sad...

I'm sorry :( what kind of things do you enjoy? If you like world building the final art book is coming out!

Leverage because I hate the main character, can't stand Sophie and am completely meh about Eliot. Watching the show is unbearable and even if the fic only has minimal Nate(?) and Sophie, it probably has a lot of Eliot.

Parker and Hardison are cool though.

So, wait - you 'want to get into' Leverage, despite hating two of the five main characters, and simply not caring about a third? Really? Why?

Supernatural, mostly because one of my best fandom buddies got into that fandom and I miss sharing a fandom with her :(

I can't get in because it's just... too big. Too many seasons, too much lore, too much has happened to the characters, and too much fanfic. I don't feel like I have any niche to contribute, so I can't really get into the fandom.

I wish I could get back into the fandom, but I only like seasons 1-5 and all the fics now are for stuff later than that.

Star Trek.

So many episodes, so little time.

But I used to like scrolling through fans' Tumblrs despite that :/

If you like the camp, just stick to the original series. Otherwise, for the rest, just...watch with a friend at a get together. That's how I've seen the majority of the Ten run of Doctor Who. Cause on my own, i just...don't care enough, though I like Nine and I DO like Ten and I like Rose and Donna. Don't have an opinion of Martha.
