Especially if you went on to buy the canon.

For me, I got into Magnificent 7 because my favorite SGA writer (Tipper) wrote in it. Dresden Files I got interested because of a POI crossover fic (by the Queen of crossovers, jedi buttercup). Teen Wolf sucked me in with abo fanfic and I watched the show (with laughing incredulity but not without enjoyment)

I had heard Good Omens was good but I only finally got around to reading it because I was told the fandom was 90% well-written slash and I wanted to understand what I was reading.

Haha, yeah, I read Good Omens because I found good fanfic.

I uh. Yeah, that book was COMPLETELY different than fandom had led me to believe. Ditto 'Monstrous Regiment.' (Though I DID enjoy that one.)

I have Monstrous Regiment but I haven't read it yet because I like to multi-task and read multiple things at once, and without chapter breaks it's harder to do that.

Yeah. I liked it okay, which is good, since I REALLY can't get into Pratchett for some reason.

Game of Thrones. Well, GIFs on Tumblr made me want to read fic. Then reading the fic made me want to watch the show. I think some of the really long end series fanfics will probably be better to me than what will happen in canon.

I also got into Shadowhunters for the fanfic. And that is still while I am there.

I've never understood reading fic for a fandom you're not in, so.. none.

Same here.

Same. I've gotten into fics after I've only read/watched part of a fandom, but never when I don't know anything.

Kinks or tropes. Some kinks/tropes are so hard to find, I'll read some fics for it. It is better if it is AU version of the fandom, but I can usually suss out what is going on.

I've done it once or twice if it's an author I love in one fandom and I'll read some of their other stories if I'm passably familiar with the storyline (usually American TV sitcoms)

Yeah, this. None for me as well.

I read a friend's Kingdom Hearts fanfiction for a fanfiction contest. Decided to get KH1 and KH2. Haven't really played through the others, unless you count Dream Drop Distance (which I haven't finished).

I read the Star Trek comics before watching the show. Does that count?

I think that should count.

I started playing Saints Row 4 recently because a friend was unhappy about the lack of slash between the villain and a male PC, if that counts? Mind you, I also have a... thing... for aliens, so that was a nice plus.

Supernatural. Still can't stand the show, but I ended up reading a lot of fanfic. It's weird.
It happened with SGA as well but I ended up watching the show for a few seasons. I wouldn't buy it on DVD but it had some good moments!

I got into Team Fortress 2, Undertale and Ranma 1/2 due to Fandom.

Downton Abbey, but I ragequit later over a certain car accident.

MCU kinda? (Got into fanfics before I saw most of the movies.)
Also Haruhi Suzumiya and Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni.
And Homestuck. Except I got into fanfic because a friend recced the comic and the characters seemed cool and fanfic was easier to acquire for offline reading.
I think Torchwood was one too.

To a lesser extent (meaning I didn't get into the fandom itself but still enjoy some fanfic):
Supernatural RPF (a/b/o stuff; the fandom put me off the show itself though)
Leverage (crossover)
Merlin
