No... I don't think I will.

¿¿¿NANI THE FUCK???

Am I missing something, or is the secret just that you're just extremely judgemental with no regard for other peoples interests and opinions?

(Anonymous) 2020-03-05 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, but that's what it sounds like to me!

(Anonymous) 2020-03-05 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, it’s okay.

You're probably right about some of this. If you're in a really big fandom with a really popular ship, it stands to reason there's more well-written fics for that ship, because there's simply more fics for that ship in general.

I am absolutely positive that if I could choose to ship Sterek or Destiel or Aziraphale/Crowley, I would have an absolutely fantastic time. There'd be so many awesome fics to read. I'd be set for years. :D

But unfortunately, I can't just choose my ships. My ships choose me.

(Anonymous) 2020-03-05 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Haha same. I always seem to end up being into obscure fandoms with unpopular ships and there's never any fic.

(Anonymous) 2020-03-05 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I feel this so much. Most of my ships are rarepairs. I do ship Destiel and it's so nice to have such a huge selection of fic, but at the same time, sometimes I have to weed through a lot of stuff to find exactly what I'm looking for and it's a little annoying.

I shipped two MASSIVE OTPs for like twelve years (not even joking) and in my case I got incredibly lucky and ended up liking very much the same stuff as fandom liked for both those pairings. So it was just twelve years straight of all-you-can-read otp greatness. HEAVEN.

Then I jumped to a medium-sized pairing, but ended up only liking like 5% of the content for that pairing. And holy crap, it is HELL. After twelve years of all-you-can-read, I am simply not cut out for this kind of scarcity! Lol.

....says every person in every fandom ever.

(Anonymous) 2020-03-05 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Right?!

Like, straight up, I just assume everyone thinks their fandom is The Greatest. Fandoms are like children that way.

... this discounts the instances where someone is in a fandom BECAUSE it's a trainwreck, and don't care about all those wonderful things you listed in the left column.

(Anonymous) 2020-03-05 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Lol it depends. If the fandom is big, but it's for a show with terrible acting, I wouldn't be interested.

Yeaaah, no. I'll stay in my tiny fandom out of spite and produce more content for it *because* it is so small and deserves more.

(Anonymous) 2020-03-05 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
My immediate thought was this was a secret made by a Dr Who fan, mostly because of the 'more canon content' and 'better setting' comments. But Dr Who is such a wanky fandom that can't be right - Star Trek maybe?

Whichever fandom it is, jokes on you - I like what I like and read fanfic to enjoy the exact content I want. There's potential for fic in most things if you like it enough, and more content can often mean more chance to fuck up what I liked about a fandom in the first place.

(Anonymous) 2020-03-05 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
YMMV and all that. I'm fine with the fandoms I've got, thanks.

(Anonymous) 2020-03-05 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
sure but your fandom has worse fans and they're the ones I have to interact with so
