Toes in the Pool, Round 36
Mar. 25th, 2015 09:28 pmThe TGWTG/CA/CA fandom has gone rather quiet on LJ/DW, and I don't have nearly enough fucking time or patience to try and trawl it on Tumblr (project for this summer, probably). This state of affairs is not new to me; I tend to stumble into fandoms just as they're entering either a lull or a long slow slide into obsolescence.
Thus, I'm currently prowling through an old LJ kinkmeme, and I'm discovering something: Oancitizen (one of my favorites, for a dozen reasons) gets tons of prompts, probably more than Phelous and definitely more than Angry Joe, but the ratio of filled to unfilled prompts is a small fraction indeed. This leads me to believe that, at least during the time the kinkmeme was live (which appears to be late '10 through '12), plenty of fangirls wanted to read about Oan, but he didn't strike the fancy of any of the prolific authors. It's a bit sad, honestly.Especially since if I'd been in the fandom at the time I would gladly have thrown myself on several of the prompts. And I was a better author at the time than 75% of the ones filling the kinkmeme prompts were.
