True, true... Really, the only thing I've seen bad about the Tenipuri fandom is that a few people who I won't name can be vicious about some pairings, mostly the mainstream ones that 'make no sense' (i.e. "Tezuka and Momo have more interaction than Tezuka and Fuji, yet why is ZukaFuji so popular and ZukaMomo is unheard of? ZukaFuji fans are so stupid for trying to make up something that isn't there. Of all people in this fandom, I can't stand them." ...Yes, I've seen something like that >_< ) But what fandom doesn't have that? O_o Plus, everyone in tenipuri_yaoi are adults or they are doing a good job of acting like an adult and fooling us moderators. (The Tenipuri fandom as a whole has more adults than it does children, I think...) Pairing bashing and such on the community aren't tolerated and are immediately deleted anyway. Another rule on the comm is that no one is allowed to make a post in which they only ask for a file. Those posts are usually covered up with something like "here I'm offering this and this" then at the bottom of their post "btw, does anyone have or know where I can find this?" Tricky they are, but it's all good in that form. ^^
From what I can tell, the WK fandom is mostly made up of a bunch of kids and teenagers (then again, I think it was intended for the teenybopper audience...cause I started getting into the series when I was 16 >_> Have matured since then, but still...) And like you said, most people don't know how to share files since they're too busy asking for people to send stuff to them. I think the biggest thing I asked for was the first Schwarz drama CD, and after you sent that to me, I uploaded that to my site so others can grab that and/or the second drama. In response to that, I think I've only recieved one, maybe two 'thank you' from people that go to my Schwarz site. ...And yet I got several emails full of glomps and 'thank you' (and even souls ^^;; ) for uploading Eyes and then Breath to my Tenipuri shrine. There's definitely a difference of appreciation between the two fandoms. >_>
But anyway, even if people don't take the time to tell you, I'm sure they do appreciate your hard work and generosity with sharing the content you've uploaded to your sites. You get lots of visitors, so that shows some amount of love, ne? ^_^
