June Something - Day 6





Day 6: What's a fandom that you wish had a bigger following?

I don't know. I… hm. I mean, I've been in smallish fandoms, but they've always been just the right size for what I want, so???? I mean, being in a megafandom that produces tons of content is nice but it's also overwhelming. I will never be able to keep up with everything tied to MDZS/CQL, and I despair about that a little bit.

But I never run out of stuff to read or look at. :)

On the other hand, The Losers was pretty small, but the talent was massive, and when we wanted more content, we went out and made it. A little enthusiasm goes a long way.

I'm sure there probably will be a tiny fandom I get invested deeply in at some point, but so far, even the teeniest fandoms seem to either a) have exactly the story I need to be satisfied or b) inspire me to write the fic that I need to be satisfied, and then they have served their purpose and I move on. *shrug* I think every size fandom is wonderful.

I'm with you on being overwhelmed in megafandoms. I mean, the sheer quantity and quality of Sherlock fanfic at the height of its fandom kept me from writing for the fandom, though I loved it. I was too intimidated.

...I looked up The Losers and it's a ninety-seven minute movie and my, a canon that takes less than an evening to absorb is attractive right now.

And you've got 118 entries with that tag? My, this might be the obsession I need!
