Fandom
Due to the show's short run, the fandom itself is very small, the most activity occurring during and immediately after the show's run, though, it's worth pointing out fanworks for the show are still being produced.[1] Around the time the most activity for the show, fanfiction were being posted to various archives and fansites as well author pages.
Pairings
Most popular pairings are Jake/Hamilton, Bella/Scout, Bella/Will and Scout/Will although other pairings did appear.
