The great unknown
Fanfiction.net has sorting and filtering on their fandom pages now! They may have for a while and I just hadn't noticed. But I love me some numbers.
the top 30 tv show fandoms on ff.net
the top 15 fandoms from all categories
It's easy to assume that fandoms we don't see don't exist; it's good to examine that periodically.
(I was reading the comments to a post about television shows that pass the Bechdel Test, and there is so much awesome there and so much I agree with, but Gilmore Girls isn't a show I'd tag as having a small fandom or insufficient fannish love - the TWOP GG forums were a scary place. And I know that because I was there, but there are a lot of other fandoms that exist on my periphery - do I think of Power Rangers or One Tree Hill as big fandoms? Do I even really know what Kingdom Hearts is?)
