the fandom I was most into during the late 90's/early 00's was so small I was constantly having to explain what it was to people. That got tired real fast.

I dunno. If i were really enjoying a fandom/work/show/whatever, i don't think i could just drop it 'cause some people are assholes.

I'm the opposite. I'm in it for the fanfic. My appetite for fic is endless. An abundance of fanfic is all I ask for. An abundance of other fanworks is also nice. A small/medium fandom doesn't give me these things in anywhere near the volume I crave.

Of course a happy, non-wanky fandom is nice. But the wank has never really bothered me that much. Nowhere near enough to ruin a fandom for me. People who judge me by my fandom's worst members are being silly, and needlessly judgmental, and I don't really care what they think.

I wouldn't leave, but I might become too embarrassed to admit outside of that fandom that I was in it. It sucks to have your fandom bad-mouthed, but I figure people who do that are trying to compensate for their own fandom's reputation or their own behavior. "At least we're not as bad as that other fandom!" I hear people talk shit about the Supernatural fandom, but I don't join in the chorus because I don't care about Supernatural enough to care about the fandom.

That and fandoms so large that they can't retain a cohesive identity more precise than fandom itself. (Harry Potter, mostly.)

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, same. Middle sized fandoms are the best. Too small and you don't get any feedback or content to deal with. But mid-sized and you can make decent connections and get a little feedback and content without the utter batshit bullshit that happens in mega fandoms.

It depends, even small fandoms tend to get clique-y. It starts off nicely with everyone enjoying the work the same way, but when one person has a different opinion (i.e. not liking the actor outside of the work, critiquing the work itself, etc.), then gradually they're kicked out of the small fandom over the difference.

Sometimes I miss engaging in fandoms of my favorite things. Even if I still like the work, it's harder now because it's splintered and spread out. Also it depends on the social media/blogging site.
