Prepare to use higher math. I am afraid you will find the numbers to be higher than they should be which is unfortunate. Some of my favorite authors have gone underground and it pisses me off.
I have been in fandom for 40 years. I am 47. I was a Trek geek from the age of 7 and I started to write at 16 when I discovered slash. I love reading the diverse stories from all the fandoms and if something squicks me out I skip it. I don't think I have the right to deprive the author or their audience from enjoying their particular flavor of story.
When I do write another story I am going to try for a Supernatural fic. You will see it because I will post to my journal. It will be my first one and I will be asking for critiques because I trust my audience; they are all on my f-list and many of them, actually MOST of them are writers I stalk...I mean follow. LOL! . I really do hope some of the hidden and missing authors return. And I thank you for posting your very relevant and well spoken opinion.
