I know that not all fandoms operate the same when it comes to fan content, there are some that are very well-known that don't have much fan content at all or a huge online fandom presence, but there is a good theory about the longevity of a fandom and it's mostly through fan content. I wouldn't have gotten into some of the fandoms I've been in had it not been due to seeing fan content created for them beforehand. I want The Expanse to have that same treatment, dammit.
