I've enjoyed one or two television series where no fandom has ever developed. In at least one case, I dreamed up a story; I even jotted notes down on paper. But I never finished anything. In fact, I barely even started.
This is where crossovers pay off, and why I write a lot of crossovers with fairly obscure books, shows and films; it lets me write about the obscure stuff but still get my stories read, and hopefully gets more people interested in the obscure stuff. For example I've written one Buffy / Modesty Blaise crossover, and the first few parts of another - despite there being eight or nine Modesty Blaise books, three films, and a load of comics, all still fairly popular, there was no fanfic at all until I wrote it. Hopefully others will write some now I've broken the ice.
