You are so valid for feeling this way. But being in a large fandom that has slowed down significantly over time is still a bummer, and I can't fault anyone for saying they're sad about it.

Like, sure if there are 15K fics for their ship on AO3, and they haven't even done any deep mining yet, because there was always so much new stuff being posted that they just never had to bother digging for anything, then I have a distinct lack of sympathy for them. But I've shipped my current, mid-sized OTP for six years. I had mined the hell out of the ship tag on AO3 within the first year. By the second year I'd lowered my standards and made a second pass. By the third year I was reading stuff that involved actual squicks of mine, just so I could read some content for my ship that I hadn't read before. The fact that there is quite a bit of content for my OTP doesn't change the fact that I have picked that carcass clean and I'm hungry.

Yes, same here.

It's partly my fault. I have an unfinished WIP in my last fandom and another story altogether in a bigger fandom I haven't posted yet.

Really should get on those!

Yeah, my fandom is still active but it's slowed down a LOT. I've already read all of the existing fics for my ship that didn't involve personal "no"s, and there's only been one new fic for the ship in the past few months. So even though the fandom itself wouldn't count as being slow, it does mean that anyone who likes my ship is really just getting crumbs now.
