I ship 10 out of the top 20 on that list and I believe you 100%. After liking those things, my other fandom interests are a bit like venturing out into a desert and not seeing anyone for days.

Fuck do I know this feel.

I shipped two very popular pairings in two very prolific fandoms for twelve years straight. Then I got into a new OTP that's much, much smaller, and I am just not handling it well at all. I am not cut out for smaller fandoms. My brain cannot comprehend that I have read all the fic and there is no more fic to read. It's like, "But that was practically none! That was just a single little morsel of appetizer! What do you MEAN there is no more!!?"

ayrt

Yep. I go to search tags because I want a specific thing and there is none of that, or any of the other things I really want to read. No active fan blogs. I still check but nothing ever updates no matter how many times I refresh.

Even worse is when people tag that fandom and I see it and feel hopeful... and it's for someone's headcanon about a character from another fandom because they're played by the same actor. It has nothing to do with my fandom at all.

God, this so much. I'm so used to there be multiples of literally every type of fic you can think of. Want some soulmate AU? There's ninety! Harry Potter fusion? Two hundred! One Bed fic? Road Trip fic? Fake Dating? Whatever you can think of, there's a minimum of several options to choose from.

To go from that, to a fandom where there isn't a single option for the vast majority of tropes, is like...fuuuuck, I am in the wrong neighborhood.

It's not that I think I'm entitled to any of this stuff. I'm just so used to it being there.

Yeah I get in moods to read about a pairing in a specific way like super slow burn romance or something light and funny, and if I could just find what I was looking for I'd be satisfied. I know this, because that's how it's gone before. I need my fix. Lol.

But for this fandom I'm obsessed with there's only pretty short fic, mostly based on canon events or slight deviations from them. I don't think anyone stuck with the fandom long enough to explore it or want to write it differently. There's nothing to sink my teeth into. It's like chewing custard. I am not satisfied.

I feel weirdly offended on behalf of these characters I fell in love with, because they're more interesting than a lot of the big pairings I ship. They deserve more attention and fandom love.

same, i ship a few of the Big ones on that list, but the rest of the time my ships are tiny little things that have no fandoms to speak of. like there's 30 fics maybe and they're not always about the ships/characters i like.

it's very frustrating, lol.

Yes. I've wondered if I could even get someone interested enough to write it in a rarepairs fic exchange or something.

I kind of want to put ads on AO3 just to try to entice people from the more popular tags to my unloved ones.
