I sometimes get the feeling of being the only one working on a story's page or really has any interest. It's pretty lonely and I wonder if anybody else gets this feeling.

For instance, I've been expanding The Midnight Library because I think it's a great little horror series, but I'm the only one editing. I'd hope this community would encourage others to get into more niche works.

Is there a way to introduce such things to other tropers?

Pardon but does anyone have any thoughts on this?

[up] ...seems off-topic though.

But as for on-topic, I don't have a lot of advice. Mostly I've used TVT or social media tags for that purpose, but they aren't entirely satisfactory.

reddit always seems to have hyper-specific communities, so there should be at least one community for a thing you're a fan of!

but, mostly, it's just luck of the draw. go ask people "hey, have you heard of/do you like [insert thing here]?" and if they say yes, talk to them about it! if they say no, well, enlighten them! it's kinda hard for suuuuper niche things but it can still happen!

Welcome, my little friend! Or should I say...friends?

[up] I agree with this person, Reddit's probably going to be your best bet.
