Fandom
Although it has a relatively-large viewer base, Narrative Declaration's fandom isn't the largest at least in terms of the types of Fan works present in the community, though there are still fan work examples. A majority of the fan content is also Rotgrind centric, but there are WarHams and Wrath and Glory works in there as well.
