 I feel like it's very easy (unfortunately) to get ignored in fandom. People tend to head for more popular fanartists/fic writers and build their communities around them, and even the more "inclusive" communities can be hard to get attention in simply because every community has someone whose art and fic people love. Fandom tends to put certain people on a pedestal, at the expense of others, and can become pretty clique-like to the point where it's hard to make friends. Every fandom is probably like this, but I've felt it in particular with the Bungo Stray Dogs fandom. I'm not sure why, but it's really disheartening sometimes.
