a relatable feeling :( i hope in most situations you do end up finding a chance to reach out to them!
that's really interesting actually! i wonder if that's not because bigger fandoms have more content, and (as we discussed somewhere else) there's a weird pressure to consume All The Things ASAP so fans sort of rush from one to the other -- as well as there readily being so much content available that it gets undervalued in readers' minds. it's too easy to forget that the person behind any given fic is probably just as invested as you, just as human and approachable as anyone else, especially if there's so much faceless fic abound.
i've never written for spn but it's good to hear people are generally happy to comment there! what was the obscure fandom/fic, if you don't mind my asking?
