any advice for someone playing from a rare fandom??

i really love the structure of meme communities like bakerstreet, but struggle to maintain interest in crosscanon threads because i’m so hyperfocused on my specific fandom. i have some PSLs going on with a close friend so i’m not exactly starving for content, but memes with canonmates are very snackable to me, for lack of a better term. they’re like chips!!!

i’ve posted my characters to bakerstreet before, told myself i was gonna engage with crosscanon should it come, only to immediately lose interest once i’m met with it. but i always come back thinking this time will be different, or that i should post my characters so people know there’s someone interested in that fandom bopping around.

what should i do?? simply wait for EMP and post my characters there? specify i only want canonmates despite the lack of them? lurk endlessly, hoping someone will toplevel with a character i recognize? or simply accept i need to get more onboard with crosscanon or dreamwidth isn’t for me?
