fictional_fansWhat's the small fandom of your heart? Link the source material if available, and maybe say a few words about what it's about, and what you love about it.
For the last 3-4 years my main fandom has been an indie video game called Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem. The game's main website is here and it gives an overview of the plot and characters, but the most up-to-date version can be downloaded through the official forums. Look for the MediaFire link.
The game is a visual novel RPG hybrid of sorts, which centers around a fantasy world where negotiated peace treaties are sealed by diplomatic marriages, except as the player character, you can arrange your own marriage. There's a strong dating sim element (twelve romances, of which three are GxG and the rest GxB) but beyond the romantic aspect, there's a rich plot with stat-raising, challenges, and choices that affect the game's outcome.
It's been in alpha testing for years, due to difficulties the game's creator has been having, but the "demo" content is honestly more than a lot of full, published games.
My favorite thing about the game is tied between the characters, who are honestly delightful, and the worldbuilding, which represents a real challenge to me as a fic writer. And the fandom is small and friendly. We have bursts of activity, but right now everything's pretty quiet.
