but because I wonder why there's so much of one and so little of the other.

for the same reason that in any given fandom, for every gen fic, there are probably around 200 shippy fics.

could easily have grown up differently, as a bunch of people who decided to play in established worlds.

idts. fandom culture is the way it is because for a lot of people (i'm tempted to say the majority *), fandom journey begins when they watch or read something and become really into the idea of a certain relationship between canon characters (or canon characters and themselves).

from kirk/spock, to mulder/scully, to bella/edward, to draco malfoy/self-insert.

eta: * - at least the majority of those interested in reading and writing fanfiction. of course, another truckload of people find their way into fandom through their love of comics or pokemon or final fantasy or w/e and become all about collectibles and never touch a fanfic in their entire fandom lives.
