Less than 10 people is small.

Less than ten people is a micro fandom. 'Small' is overselling a ten-person fandom, imo.

I have way too many fandoms where a few active fans is good enough. Most recently Horatio Hornblower. It has lots of fics and other fan content but not many people are active.

How many grains of sand make a heap?

[(Anonymous)]

52.

I judge by how often I find freshly completed content.

Daily = large.
Weekly = medium.
Monthly = small.
Annually = ghost ship being haunted.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. I don't know if I would use the exact same breakdown as you, but I feel the frequency of content (especially if by multiple people) is the key.

[(Anonymous)]

For sure! It gets narrower again if you're only interested in a certain pairing too. Nothing worse than being in a "big" fandom and still having almost no fan content.

There are so many fics in my E/F pairing tag but they're all variations of A/B/C/D as the main pairing which I have zero interest in.

[(Anonymous)]

This is a good metric :).

[(Anonymous)]

As a reader first and foremost, I judge by the amount of fanworks, not the number of active fans.

For me, I'd say under 2K relevant fics is small. Under 10K relevant fics is medium. Massive is probably over 30K relevant fics. Something like that.

However, I also tend to consider my ship to be my fandom. So for instance, I have an OTP in the MCU, but I consider my fandom to be a medium sized fandom, because I don't consider myself to be in the MCU fandom. I consider myself to be in the Character X/Character Y fandom.

My main fandom feels kinda small, but I know it's not. It's just that I interact with and only see content from a small amount of people.
