In my experience, the best way to ask about unpopular (here, on Lemmy) stuff is to make a post in a generic community. Discoverability sucks here and not many people are on here too so niche communities are often deserted.

So, if you make a post on popular lemmies like this one, you have better chances to receive a helpful response. I'm not sure how the situation with writing communities is, maybe they are active enough to be of use for you!

There's a handful of communities on ttrpg.network that might be relevant:

Ooh, some other ones occurred to me, some maybe only tangentially related:

!plot-development@community.darkscribes.com
!pathfinder@wanderingadventure.party (prolly better comms on this instance for worldbuilding questions, but I always have trouble getting some NodeBB comms to show up reliably lol)
!fanfiction@literature.cafe
!conlangs@mander.xyz
!writing@beehaw.org
