Strangely, I can't now even remember what was driving me crazy about Grease 2. I remember being very disturbed in Halloween V at the way this one girl's friends forgot about her so completely that she was murdered and we never heard any response to it--we don't even know if the body was found!
I do think--and I think Elkins has said this--that there's just something very specific that makes you need to go to fandom and it's not always just loving the thing. I never felt any need to discuss LOTR with anyone until the movies came out. There's lots of books I've loved that I didn't need to talk about--in fact, it seems like some kinds of things are suited to making for a vibrant fandom when others aren't, and quality isn't the deciding factor.
