My issue in fandom spaces is that NONE OF MY SHIPS ARE MAINSTREAM!!!! THEY ARE ALL NICHE!!!!! okay maybe I am being a bit dramatic but lets take a look at my top three.
Ship One: m4f, same media, my one OTP, crazy but in a fun-ish way
14 fics on ao3. One of them is by me. At LEAST four of them are those ungodly oneshot amalgamations with eight billion ship tags. Most are by one specific orphan account who keeps giving the woman animal features but nor specifying which animal and just saying "her tail wagged" or "her ears flicked". What does that mean. Also a good chunk of their fics are smut which isn't my thing.
Ship Two: m4m, jesus christ what is wrong with them, I am happy they're with each other because good God they should never be around anyone else for the safety of others
Grand total of FOUR fics on ao3. Maybe 5. One is first person, which i dont read. One is in Russian, which i /cant/ read. One is OOC smut, which is still not my thing. One is less than 500 words. When does it end.
Ship Three: f4f, literally NOBODY ships this but me and I am being dead serious
This is just a me thing. Fandom so small it fits on a unicycle. NO fics on ao3. NO fics on wattpad. NO fics on quotev. NO fics on ff.net. The only media I have ever seen of it is the things I write myself in my notebook. I just think women should be allowed to kill more people. It's not my fault one is from a niche media and the other is (surprisingly) hated. Jeez.
