I get this. I wish tiny fandoms had more diversity but that's a contradiction in terms since if there are about eight people actively participating, it makes sense that they all focus on the same thing.

But then you get the lurkers and the anons who pop up once in a blue moon and say that they wish there was more of this or that - and my advice to that is, if you want other things posted in your tiny fandom tag, you have to go ahead and post them there. This seems to escape a surprising number of people.

If you just don't write or draw though you're kind of boned as far as "go ahead and post them". I mean yeah, theoretically anyone can do either of those things, but it's not really fun or contributing much to draw stick figure shit usually. And if you're not a good writer, and don't enjoy writing, what's to be gained from churning out something god-awful?

I'm not sure how useful the "just write it yourself" advice is. Surely if most of them could do that they already would have? Though even so, reading only your own work for a thing can get old so they would still have something to complain about.

Write you opinions down and pose questions and see if anyone bites and will start a conversation with you.

Sometimes it's nice just to have someone to talk to if you can't have the art and the fic.

Basically what the anon replied. You don't have to draw a masterpiece of digital art or write a 60k epic fic (although you can try a drabble, I think) - all it takes is just a tiny piece of text, a question, a bit of meta. Possibly accompanied by a gif if this is a visual thing. Or link an interview with the writers, actors, what have you. Make one of those question memes.

I'm a bit tired of people sitting back and complaining about the content of their fandom tag and using the "I can't do anything" excuse. Everyone can do something.

/this is not really related to the OP of this secret since they're already doing that

I'm no artist, but several times I've mentioned an idea I've had for a picture and someone else has ended up drawing it because they liked the idea too. You can inspire other people just by talking about things.
