I will never say a bad word about teenage fangirls ever again

At4W fandom got me so spoiled, y'all. So. Spoiled. Wikis and timelines and episode cross-referencing and TVTropes ahoy for every character.

I don't know if I can handle doing the deep dive and watching another videographer age ten years (eleven, technically) in a week while I watch, without the tropes and the timelines and old fics getting jossed as we go. Even most of the fanart I've found is less than five years old. Granted, I think there are only five or six characters to keep track of and two of them are one-offs, but still, the difference in the online fandoms as far as I've found is - stark. True, the actual amount of content is significantly less (Lewis uploads between twelve and forty minutes, with occasional forays up to well over an hour, almost every week; Alan uploads between three and twelve minutes about once a month), but this guy's been out there forever and why is there so little fic, ugh.

So goddamn spoiled.

There's a book series that I wrote fanfic for for years, offline, and once several years ago I found one other person who also wrote fanfic for it. The books are "men's adventure" spy novels, so she and I were basically the fandom.

I'm kinda thinking that's what's going to end up happening. Of the two fics that count over on Ao3, both of them are crossovers with another fandom, but I suspect the authors would read stuff I posted that wasn't crossover fic. I don't know if anyone else would - all the comments that aren't me are for the other end of the crossover.
