Musing

Something I wonder about sometimes:  Why is there so little cross-fandom discussion or meta about hurt/comfort in fandom?

It's a genre (or whatever) that has a lot of fans, it tends to be a preference that follows a person from show to show, and I personally, at least, have a number of meta-y questions that I'd love to see thrown out to a diverse group of h/c fans for discussion.

And yet, the couple multifandom comms I've seen here on LJ fizzled pretty quickly or never got off the ground...  ( *sniffles sadly at theonesyoulove *  ) and the one comm on DW also has no traffic.  I always wonder if its an advertising problem (word didn't get around to a broad enough group of fans that the comms existed)  or if I'm just in the minority, and most fans really have no interest in discussing their tastes outside of a specific fandom environment, comparing notes on fandoms that lend themselves to h/c, etc.   It's a bit of a bummer, really.
