Unfortunately, it's rare that "my" OTPs, or even my favorite character, is a fandom favorite, so often there's just simply not that many stories out there I want to read.
I'm usually the same but sometimes, once in a while, I luck up and my favorite character or OTP is also popular with others. That always feels like winning. :-D
I like slash myself but I also like it to make sense for the characters. Right now I've been OD'ing on some Tommy/Buck stuff from the "911" show since they became canon because, holy hell, I'd climb Tommy like a tree. Can't blame Buck for hopping on that train.
