Here's a guess, is your show Vikings? (Which by the way, I love.)

[dreemyweird]

I like the design of this secret. [other than that, I don't think there's anything wrong with wishing for a fandom to remain small]

[(Anonymous)]

Your fellow fans should ask themselves if they really want half the fics in their fandom to be BBC!Sherlock crossovers.

[arcadiaego]

I think half of all fics are currently Sherlock "crossovers" (I use the word advisedly) regardless of fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

90% of all fics in my fandom are Sherlock crossovers ;.; because the Sherlock fandom decided one of our characters would be a good Holmes brother.

[(Anonymous)]

I would laugh but this is actually true.

[(Anonymous)]

If it's Vikings, I understand why you're feeling conflicted. More fandom potentially means more viewers and renewals, but more fandom means more complication, in some cases.

I just hope the second season delivers... And that Lagertha gets to become Queen of Everything, but that's another story.

Good luck, OP!

[deadtree]

the showrunner has talked about Lagertha "historically" becoming queen of the universe so hopefully they'll go there.
Of course he also talked about Athelstan being burned at the stake so hopefully they WON'T go there D:

[(Anonymous)]

Oh my, agreed on both counts! Athelstan can rule by her side or be her advisor/nanny/secretary extraordinaire if he wants to.

[analise]

I am continually annoyed they didn't show any real reaction from Athelstan to (spoiler if you haven't seen the series so far, I guess? It's late-mid season)...being offered up by Ragnar as a sacrifice.

I mean, I half-suspect Ragnar had to know Athelstan wouldn't actually agree and one of his own men would volunteer in his place (no, seriously, I totally think he expected that to happen because he saw what-his-name (Leif?) as a possible rival) but still. Athelstan had to feel betrayed, right? And they didn't even show any of that.

Then again, they skip time weirdly without really telling you how much time has passed (except by telling how much hair Athelstan has at any given time, I guess, LOL) but I still love the show anyway...so there's that.

And Lagertha seriously needs to just rule everything.

[elaminator]

I'm guessing Vikings as well, but I have mixed feelings on the topic. I want more viewers because more viewers is great for the show, but as for the fanbase...it's pretty nice as is (or was the last time I was in it), so I don't think I would be disappointed if it didn't grow much.

At the same time, more fans doesn't necessarily need to be a horrible thing, so...

*shrugs* IDK.

[deadtree]

yeah I think our fandom is a really nice size right now... we have a pretty good number of writers/artists/graphics-makers but not so many people that there's a lot of in-fighting that I've seen.

Luckily the show doesn't *need* billions of viewers to stay on the air, history was happy with the ratings it had last season.

[(Anonymous)]

It's Vikings? Sorry, OP, I had such high hopes for it but it didn't really live up to my expectations.

[oftheark]

I can understand both sides here. But seriously, let's keep Vikings fandom small. It's already crazy enough as it is.

[(Anonymous)]

Vikings fandom is crazy? I'm signed up to a few lj comms and tbh it seems pretty dead. Where is everyone? D:

[oftheark]

I haven't checked anywhere recently, but when the series was airing there was a lot of stupidity and craziness.

Transcript

[(Anonymous)]

Background is of a black and white drawing of a Viking ship

Text: My fandom seems sad that our show didn't catch on the way Hannibal has.
They want to think of ways to make it more popular.

I just want it to stay small.
I like knowing everyone.

...and I like that everyone knows me 
I've always been anonymous in fandom before now

I realize this is not only selfish but also bad for the show

[(Anonymous)]

My parents love Viking's! Mom is all about Rollo ( she hasn't been hot and bothered by an actor since Daniel Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans). I prefer Ragnar.

That said, I don't touch TV fandom but more viewers would be nice.

[deadtree]

as long as no one sends an invitation to the Superwholock fandom like the Fannibals did, I think we'll be okay...

actually I've noticed an influx of new people reblogging Vikings stuff on tumblr so it seems like the fanbase is steadily increasing naturally... hopefully no crazies will come :(

[iceyred]

We'll create a shield wall to hold them back. :D

[deadtree]

good thinking!

[(Anonymous)]

They sent them an invitation?! Why would anyone do that?!

[(Anonymous)]

Because they were worried their show would be cancelled. And then were insulted when the fandoms accepted the inventation.

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, Hannibal caught on more than Vikings? Because I have met more fans of Vikings (and seen more fan activity for the show) than fans of Hannibal.
