The problem with big fandoms (using "problem" in a very loose sense here) is that it's really hard to stumble across the weird niche undertagged stuff when its being buried in five million coffee shop/royalty/high school/soulmate aus. If there are 150 works in the tag total you can look through very quickly and find anything that appeals to you. When there are over a million it is much harder to do that.
#im very into a genre of fic i like to think of as#'canon adjacent but we got silly with it'#like crack treated seriously and very specific canon divergences and obscure crossovers#the lore is intact but the plot diverges#or it doesnt even technically diverge its just set pre- or post-canon or focusing on side characters#i want two characters who never met in canon running into each other and getting into shenaningans#i want time travel fix it but only for this one specific guy who doesnt know or care what the protagonists are doing#au where due to some cascading nonsense the plots of season 1 and 10 are happening at the same time#this specific character didnt get killed off and is just sort of around now#au where everything is the same but one of the protagonists is some sort of creature#unfortunately this is a very broad category#and it is impossibly to effectively filter out everything that does not fit the bill while still including everything that does#i can filter out my notps but if im ambivalent towards the juggernaut ship of the fandom that doesnt help much#fanfic
