The weird thing is that in many cases there's lots of chatter, gifs, pics, etc on Tumblr but no fic.
I mean, I knew The Silent Criminal would be a tiny fandom even though it's such ridiculous OOT slashy fun and only 13 x 35 minute episodes long - I was still expecting more than four stories - but a mate told me she'd seen lots of gifs and pics for it on Tumblr.
Mates on Tumblr have also told me they've seen lots of pics and gifs for Ancient Detective.
I totally get that people would prefer larger audiences for their work and to be fair to them I think the C dramas based on BL novels have a wide reaching appeal but still... While I don't do Tumblr, I am used to thinking of a fandom's presence there as being related to the amount of fic that gets written for it!
Now with The Imperial Coroner I wasn't so surprised as I think a lot of viewers are happy with the canon M/F ships which usually doesn't lead to much fic being written.
