I was a rarepairs person too (and in a smallish fandom like hockey RPF, that could be tough). I'm kind of lucky that a bunch of the hockey RPF people I followed on tumblr/twitter also jumped into Star Wars at the same time so I can follow them to this shiny new fandom. :D
I welcome your hockey RPF feels, anon. I kind of miss what the fandom used to be, sometimes.
Only a few authors working with that vast an amount of potential characters automatically means fans of most teams/players are out of luck, even if they're immensely shippable. And the popularity of certain teams automatically relegates other teams to villain status (says a Flyers fan, haha).
Oooh, who's doing SW fic now? Because I always need more recs.
Off the top of my head, I know of Mardia, Thisissirius, magneticwave, verity, hapakitsune, and amosanguis, who have all written fic for TFA fandom, and I think Ellievolia is working on something. And there are some people I follow on twitter and tumblr who post and tweet about TFA but haven't posted any fic yet!
