Don't worry about it. You should write about something that you find interesting and have good ideas for, don't worry about writing the next big thing about things people are currently interested in. I would assume you are an amateur writer so write about something that you enjoy, something you can see to the end and use it to become ever better. If you aren't i apologize.
I am of the mind that only more experienced writers should go out of their wheelhouse so to say or delve into areas they have little personal interest in. They have more experience and wisdom to draw upon and the confidence to see something that may be a drain on them through to the end from other completed works in their name.
I didn't know about the setting of Mistborn before i read it, but i sure learnt it once i had, don't worry about how many people know of your genre or setting to dictate whether or not you write about something you want to write about.
Write what you want, write it well, and people will read.
Goodluck!!!
