Fandom

The fandom was originally situated predominantly on FanFiction.net with over 900 works compared to Archive of Our Own which had just over 200 as of May 2015[2]. However, the amount of fanfiction on Archive of Our Own greatly increased late 2015 with the release of the final episodes of the spin off Tales from the Borderlands. Currently, the fandom is spread rather evenly between Fanfiction.net and Archive of Our Own, with the former having just over 1,100 works and the latter having over 1,300[3]. Fans mainly post their fanart to DeviantART and Tumblr.
