#also Kikaider also has NOTHING or at least not for the anime somehow and I need to fix that

My tradition for when I start a new obscure anime is to always go on ao3 to see if there’s a tag and the reaction from me is always one of three things:
“Oh wow this tag actually has surprisingly decent amount of stuff even if it hasn’t been updated much as of late. Still not 100 fics or anything but good to see about 20 that aren’t crossovers.”
“Oh there’s like- one fic in this tag huh. And it was years ago… And everything else is crossovers for some god foresaken reason. I’m gonna have to write something for this eventually.”
“Why the FUCK does this not have a tag do I really have to do this myself?!”
And the only reason I’m not writing more fics for everything I watch since they tend to fall under the second and third option or even if they don’t I end up liking what I watched a lot is because a red robot looms in my mind preventing me to write anything else- Also I’d get really exhausted from carrying so many fandoms when getter already drags me oml.
#meg text#fanfic rambles#fanfic struggles#ao3#niche fandom#I’m glad for a lot of these it’s been the first option but the second two are the more common#also with the first one it’s usually just one person writing all the fics which AHAAHAH (relates to the pain too well)#also I say fanfic/fanart is always the true measure of how obscure something is over actual post discussing it#discussion is great but if something hardly has fanart or fanfics that’s when you truly know NOBODY knows wtf this is#of course with anime especially older ones it really depends on what language circles your around#because Japan has mecha engrained into their culture unlike here sadly so they’ll know more things#but also they had their fair share of flops and oh boy has that happened to me a lot!#I still can’t get over- how bad shin jeeg did- and how there wasn’t a fucking tag for it#am I truly the carry of the getter fandom when I made the first jeeg fic ever? Think about that#also Kikaider also has NOTHING or at least not for the anime somehow and I need to fix that#I just haven’t because AGAIN I’m stuck to one series and it’s hard to write anything else#even if I feel bad for it sometimes but autism be damned I have the most ideas
