The too-popular-for-this-group list PLEASE READ
Franki Lew, founder for almost two years but only starting to get active now, here. I need everyone to read this. This group is called "The Unknown Fandoms". I want to focus it on less than popular, cult following, forgotten, unloved media. Stuff that does NOT get fan art made of it. The thing is, what constitutes as "unknown" will always vary between different cultures, subcultures and interests. Besides that, it's pretty shitty to draw some fan art of a cult film you love and be told "no" because it has, like, ONE group dedicated to it on DeviantART. What is or isn't underrated I can't 100% confirm for you guys. We can't all be highstrung hipsters about what goes here cause it's "not obscure enough". HOWEVER, I think a safer bet to axe the fandoms that are too big to be an "Unknown" fandom and whose original media is too popular to be called obscure. From now on, our group will not accept fan art from these fandoms ((read below the list for exceptions+rules)) My Little
