My current ship is a medium-sized one, but 1. the quality of the fanfic for it is, on average, poor, and 2. I'm so deeply out of step with what the majority of fandom is into that only maybe 5% of the fics are remotely of interest to me in the first place.
So yeah, I definitely feel this secret. I mean, I don't personally resent the handful of authors who write good stuff for my OTP, I'm actually super grateful to them. But I can understand why someone would feel resentful.
I can even relate to the "most of the good fics are WIPs" part. It's not quite that dire for my OTP, but of the decently-written fics over 20K long, yeah most of them are abandoned WIPs.
