Most of the things I am a fan of, are huge fandoms. I really am not into any smaller fandoms. It makes me feel like a loser who just follows the crowd, but I swear that's not what I do. 😭
I would like to be in a smaller fandom, to see what it's like. But I either love things that are hugely popular, or they are so small that have no fandom whatsoever.

[(Anonymous)]

Regardless of what size of fandom I end up in, I'm almost always into the major pairing (~99.98%). Does that make my tastes basic bitch? Maybe. Do I give a fuck? Nope.

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes that happens! I was into a small-medium fandom for about 20 years then it got a movie and suddenly turned into a megafandom. That was kind of brutal, but it did attract a lot of new people, many of whom then turned to older fics/art or stuck with the fandom when it inevitably got smaller again and it was pretty nice.

[neoyi]

Sometimes there are downsides of small fandom. I'm currently in one and, well, technically my pairing has the most fics (because it's canon), but also, I've read and reread the same 20 something fics several times. For that matter, I am contributing roughly like 80% of the fanart (well, of one of its character), so it can be hard to find new stuff.

The benefit of a smaller fandom is that I found some nice friends there and there's something nice keeping discussion of it to only a few group of people without the overwhelming navigating through a much larger one.

[(Anonymous)]

I am usually in a smallish fandoms. And while there are benefits having no choice in fic or trying to find your people in a smaller fandom can be difficult

I don't like heated rivalry and I think it's largely overrated for what it is.

I really wanted to like it, but a lot of it fell flat to me or made me cringe watching. Somehow I thought there would be more actual hockey involved.

[(Anonymous)]

It is absolutely overrated. Personally I love it, but the hype is ridiculous. It should have an Untamed kind of fandom, not Game of Thrones.

[(Anonymous)]

I liked it just fine but I do think there were things here and there that could have been done better, unfortunately it's gained an absolutely insufferable fanbase that cannot take anything other than gushing praise towards this show and will consider you to be a terrible person for thinking that some bits of the story were weak, or cannot handle it if you don't like the leads as people(they were both annoying as fuck! I am not 'unable to understand the subtleties' I just found them irritating).

[(Anonymous)]

every time a fandom-tropey property escapes containment, it's very clear that a lot of the worst hype is coming from fandom folks who believe that this time, the "rest of the world" will finally come to love and appreciate things that fandom has always loved. Never mind that there's no reason the "rest of the world" could or should love your weird Stucky Coffeehouse AU, or that you can still love what you love despite it having no wider recognition, it always comes down to "I want mainstream society to acknowledge that this weird tropey thing I do over here in my private corner is Loved and Valid and Quality."

Whenever I hear "Just The Way You Are" by Billy Joel, I listen to the lyrics "You always have my unspoken passion / Although I might not seem to care" and "I don't want clever conversation / I never want to work that hard", and think Billy, you're a really crappy partner.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, he's on his fourth marriage. I'm not saying that's a specific sign of anything. People change, grown apart, yada yada. But, um yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

At least he's honest about it. So many of 'em aren't upfront about their mediocrity.

[(Anonymous)]

Ha! Ivenever really paid attention to that song but you're right. Not a great look he painted himself with.

Fandom_secrets used to be my nostalgic haven from modern hellsites and social media, but seeing AI images in here is so goddamn depressing.

Part of why I like Practical Engineering is because Grady reminds me of the Engineer from TF2. :)
