(Anonymous) 2015-03-01 09:10 am (UTC)(link)Don't you want to formulate your own interpretation of the characters and their relationships though, rather than what you know third-hand from other fans? As subjective as a lot of interpretation can be, I'd be worried that I wasn't getting a true or accurate reflection of, well, anything if I hadn't watched/read it for myself. I definitely couldn't form enough of an attachment to read about characters I didn't 'know' in that sense.
I get taking recs and suggestions on what to watch from your friends, but isn't it possible that it's your friends' interpretation that's given you the impression you wouldn't enjoy something, rather than finding out for yourself?
I guess, like the ayrt, I don't understand why you'd fandom the fandom rather than the actual source material. Because you're just fandoming other people's interpretations of something, rather than the thing itself.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-01 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)In this particular instance, I'm fairly sure I'm not getting an accurate reflection of canon! I'm also reasonably sure that I don't want one. It just doesn't appeal all that much first-hand. (Of course I can't know for sure and maybe I'd be pleasantly surprised, but I'm fairly confident in my evaluation, from what I've heard from friends and other trusted sources.)
Since I don't really have time to catch up on the (massive) original, it's a moot point... but I've heard enough cautionary tales of the, "From all the hype I heard about [thing], I thought [thing] would be awesome. But now I have [watched, read, whatevered] it for myself, and it sucks! I am so disappoint!" variety,
I have fun enjoying friends' interpretation of the thing in question; even if it's shallow, I'm fine with that.
