Seriously?

What? Naturally SP has a fandom! We even have a Bigbang. Also Stan/Kyle=OTP.

da

Which always saddened me as BFF pairings leave me cold and I am far more intrigued by one-sided Cartman/Kyle hate shipping. I never get what I want with the fandom favorite OTP. XD

na

I don't usually like BFF pairings either, but stan and kyle have had enough conflict between them that I still find them interesting.

I'm surprised it's still on and the fandom is still active but that's just because I personally lost interest in it.

I don't know why anyone is surprised when something that's at least somewhat current has a fandom.

To be honest I flat out assume everything has a fandom until proven otherwise.

This.

If I could ever find some good drama or dark fic and not just stupid weeaboo shipping fic, I'd be all over that.

I don't know quite know what you mean when you say the show is too comedy focused to have good characters. It's a good, fairly rounded show with complex characters, imo. Yeah, it's a comedy, but it does have its dramatic and dark moments as you mentioned. Yeah, sometimes they get retconned or forgotten, but unreliable canon has never impeded fandom before.

this

finding what the fandom was like on deviantART was a :0 moment

It's really old but I'd recommend this: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2566886/1/Increasingly-Improbable-Events

It's basically Kenny and all his thoughts about dying constantly, written before the Mysterion arc. I was pleasantly surprised at how dark it is considering it's about South Park. And no shipping whatsoever.

that's because you're a dumbass who thinks fandom is the existence of fanfic, not the existence of fans

That depends on your definition of Fandom.

I know many sport teams that have tons of fans, but I wouldn't consider it a fandom, for once.

This is pretty much how I feel about Hetalia.

I took a look at it and decided that it was a good funny comic.

Then I discovered the fandom, and its sheer size and eagerness sort of... dumbfounded me.

What gets me is how most of fan art is anime.

I shouldn't be surprised really, but I'm constantly surprised at how angsty the art and fic is. I can't even read the shippy fic.

it's all so different from the tone of the show I can barely tell SP is the source material orz

One of these days though I'll try again.

there is South park fic that is far closer to the tone of the show. A lot of it is crossovers.

I couldn't help giggling when I read this because I spent nearly a entire year when I was 15 doing almost nothing fannish outside of consuming all the South Park fic evar, especially long plotty character-fic and darkfic, especially of the Cartman-related variety.

And speaking of which, I still think Cartman is one of the most utterly fascinating fictional characters I've ever encountered in any medium and "Scott Tenormen Must Die" is one of the most mind-blowing half-hours of TV I've ever seen (though I haven't watched the show since 2009, so I dunno if he's been flanderized into boringness or not, or if they ever make episodes that are actual stories anymore).

I personally consider Cartman to be one of the most evil fictional characters of all time.

I only started watching the show about a year ago, but after blowing through the entire series, the newer episodes are just as good as some of those in older seasons.

South Park has always had a huge fandom, as far back as I can remember. Most of it is crappy and either angst-ridden or shmoopy romance, but there are a few (very, very few) gems.

True story: The first fanfic I ever read, as in the very first one ever, was a South Park/X-Files crossover. (In fact, I hadn't watched any South Park whatsoever and didn't even know what it was.) Obviously(?) comedy and not a shippy story. This was in the late nineties, by the way. =)

I was surprised too! I knew it had a lot of fans, but I wasn't expecting, like, legit character development and shipping. O_____o But I was late to the party, as ever.

My first fandom and my introduction to slash! Oh, the memories...

I'm not saying they're not good characters, but since when did only good characters merit fanworks?
