I can't even imagine the union of both sets being more than a million to begin with. Seems like such a niche market.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The American porn market makes nearly a BILLION (that's "billion" with a Carl Sagan "b") more dollars per year than the "legitimate" film industry.
And that's just the high-end on-the-books corporate-produced stuff, which should give you some sense of the size of the subset audiences for fetish-specific stuff.
There's a reason why Rule 34 of the Internet exists.
To write WW, or any established comic book character - hell, I guess this goes for any fanfic in general - as sexual, is usually to write against how the character is portrayed.
Absolutely untrue, to my mind, especially as an ever-increasing number of former fans, who themselves once produced fan art and fanfic of those same characters, become the official custodians of their "canon" portrayals (see also: Russell T. Davies sexing up Doctor Who).
