Obviously I have no clue what fandom you're talking about, but I get it. There are a couple fandoms/ships I feel the same way about, and it's definitely frustrating.

The only media that came to mind with the image was the Terror, but the fic in that fandom is so damn good and top quality that it couldn't possibly be the fandom OP is talking about.

I get it though. I've had fandoms where there were literally only one or two other people contributing. You can always create your own, but it's just not the same...

No, that was the secretmaker's choice of image (thanks, secret-maker!) because I gave them nothing to go on. I've read some Terror fics, and yeah, they're good, but I'm just not into "polar expedition ends in scurvy and cannibalism" in a fandomy way.

No, the fandom I'm whining about has just over 200 fics total on Ao3, and even the best-written ones aren't as good as the best from my previous fandoms, and the worst-written are... well, some are AI slop, but others are just at the "hopefully the author is just new at this" level.

Given more experience they'll most likely improve, but I'm not up for wincing my way through their freshman efforts in the meantime.

And then there's the handful of AUs for other fandoms where the author slotted their faves in in place of my faves, and the author I muted, who posts massive generic prompt lists as the first chapter of all their works across dozens of fandoms, followed by short, barely coherent chapters of AI-extruded sludge fic. Definitely not reading those.
