06. Don't see why you'd want fandom friends, seeing your interest in fandom seems to be completely different/more casual. I mean, I guess it'd be nice just to have someone to geek out with, but you can do that with people who like fanfics/fanart/pairings, too, you know. But if you only like canon, and hate fanworks so much, I wouldn't expect to ever really fit into fandom like other people do. Maybe you could write essays or something about the canon material for people to read and discuss, but that would require making some kind of interpretation that the canon never outright says, which doesn't seem to be your cup of tea. e.e;;

I personally find sticking straight to omg canon boring (had friends like that in the past, and they came across as really snobby until they isolated themselves from the rest of fandom), but that doesn't mean I condone making the characters OOC or completely bastardizing the series in question. (Although, incidentally, there are many series with characters who are never outright stated to be straight OR gay. Do you just not support any pairings at all with them, or what?)

In short: Not everyone in fandom is a retarded, squeeing fangirl who only cares about who's shagging who, but it's going to be pretty hard to connect with people if you hate it when they even think about getting creative with the canon material, whether you tell them so or not. Even if you never outright tell them how you feel, I think that kind of energy carries over into conversations and stuff, and it becomes clear you're not that interested in what they have to say/what they're doing.
