I'm glad to hear you're finally able to think about playing again. Rediscovering an old love has always been joyous to me and I hope it is for you as well.

I hope so as it sounds like something you loved quite a bit to have stuck with you all these years.

If you can't find it, write it, as the old saying goes. Or join every fanfest and ficathon to kingdom come and suggest it/ask for it/buy it.

Anyway, next time you feel annoyed or frustrated by the lack of fanworks or attention for a genre or pair or dynamic, try organizing an event.
Start small! Maybe just your own mutuals.
Or go big! But don't police what other ships those people enjoy.
And most of all, be kind.

Be an evangeIist for your ship!
When you post about your ship, pretend you're making a pitch for why it's good, not why OTHER ships are bad.
Think about reasons why you ship something.
Talk about those reasons!
No one is out there shipping characters simply "because the other pair sucks".

"How did THAT pair get so many fics? That's fucked up, when OTHER PAIR is right there!!"
The secret: Positivity.
Fandom communities where ppl are positive and encourage others are the best soil to grow in.
