DCMK has really great female characters but it seems like the boys have all the fun

Things I want out of Detective Conan/Magic Kaito fandom:

Aoko being awesome
Ran being awesome
Aoko and Ran teaming up and doing fabulous things together
Aoko and/or Ran teaming up with Kaitou Kid and kicking ass
Honest-to-goodness genderqueer Kaitou Kid
Heiji being a dork
Sonoko and Ran hanging out & having fun
The Adventures Of Tiny Genius Scientist Haibara Ai
LADIES.


Things I am getting out of Detective Conan/Magic Kaito fandom:

Kaito and Hakuba teaming up
Shinichi and Kaito teaming up
Heiji and Shinichi being bffs
All The Dudes Team Up & Take Down Black Organization
The occasional fairly good Aoko-or-Ran-finds-out fic
By and large, DUDES.

Item one: I sometimes feel like I should form an elite society dedicated to writing about female and gender-boundary-crossing characters. Canon is about Boys Doing Things? Let's write about the girls! . . . And then I realize that everyone who would join are people I already know.

Item two: I just realized that I only ship people with Kid, not Kaito. (Kaito/Aoko, for example, is really uninteresting to me! Childhood friends, whatevs. But give me Aoko/mysterious phantom thief and I am ALL OVER THAT.)
