Oh yeah. There wasn't really much official merch for my fandom until they made the figures last year, so I bought doujinshi when I found it. A friend actually found a fan t-shirt on one of those daily geek shirt sites and omg I was floored.

At cons I used to make a habit of buying some nerdy t-shirt for my fandoms in the dealer's room or artist's alley. And artist's alleys have cute handmade fandom jewelry and stuff. If I had money I would've commissioned some fan art of my OTP because I'm the only one who draws them otherwise. :P

Might I ask which anime/manga (?) You're referring to in the first part of your answer /any doujinshi recs you may have/artists you enjoy?

Video game actually! Vagrant Story, a late PS1 era action-RPG from the same team that made Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII. Twenty-two years old now and the fandom is basically dead/scattered, and the artists who drew stuff I loved have moved on and their pages are gone - though occasionally I still find amazing stuff floating around. (Like this fan art of my OTP which I stumbled across in a google search last year and almost screamed in glee...)

And I only found doujinshi like two or three times, once only because I was still running the art column at a big fansite and a regular contributor sent me a thing she drew for it because she knew I was a huuuge Hardin fan. And I was like "okay I want to support this financially". :D Haven't seen any doujin for probably a decade, unfortunately, but a bunch of people in English fandom put out a digital Ivalice anthology zine last year that had some VS content (and I recognized almost all the names, hahah).

...Yeah, my fandom was kind of small even when it wasn't actually dead. :P
