... thinking that this fandom doesn't have a lot of fanfic...
It is really weird. HL was a megafandom back in the day, and now it has fewer than 5500 works on Ao3. By way of comparison, Teen Wolf, has over 123,000. I remember Amand-r even thinking (10 years ago now) that HL qualified for Yuletide because it had so little traffic.
... so I can't fault her...
Nor can I, though I do wish there'd been some warning. Alas, I don't think I was in a position to donate money then, even if I'd known of the need for it.
So much has been lost, from the lists, to 7D, to LJ, and to all the thousands of fans who've wandered off or died and took their stories with them. It's almost a miracle that we still have 5500 works.
