What are movies or series you love, but don't consider fandom-y material?

Example: John Wick for me, I love the world and atmosphere but there's no strong characters to build on for me to dig in and write plotty fic about.

Atomic Blonde.

Then again, it's based off of a graphic novel, so..maybe?

Disney's animated films.

Lord of the Rings was a big obsession for me but I really just watched the movies repeatedly and listened to the score for months straight.

Even series that don't inspire fanfiction themselves still make excellent AU settings

In fact, there might be a relationship between those two things now that I think about it

For me, Harry Potter. I just can never get into the Fandom. I don't if there is just too much or what.

I've always loved the book The Little Prince but the idea of fanfic for it makes me want to curl up in a ball and die.

(I didn't even watch the movie on Netflix though I might change my mind about that.)

As far as fic goes, most, TBH. I have plotbunnies here and there, but honestly, I think my glory days of fanfic have come more or less to a head, at least for new fandoms.

As far as meta goes... I'd say 30 Rock? Not that it really has a fandom anyway. But while it's very good, half the stories are so out there and implausible that it makes it hard to discuss. It's just a fun show.

I also have a lot of books I like, but there isn't enough traction to write fic for them or engage in meta about them.

Most sitcoms are like that for me. They may have a lot of fans, but the fanishness and fandom community. Plus, it's largely impossible to write good fan fiction for them (humor that works in prose and in performance isn't the same).

Star Wars.

I find the movies great fun and think they're enjoyable, but I do not care one bit about poking into the fandom. I do like the idea of a few ships but again, nothing that makes me crave fic or anything I'm die-hard over. And the universe doesn't interest me enough to consume any of the shows/books either, I just stick to the movies.

Galavant was utterly delightful but not something I was interested into searching out fandom for.

I really enjoyed LOTR (both the books/movies) but don't feel the need to read fanfic or get involved in fandom at all.

Anything I don't have a ship in. I'm just generally not a big gen fic reader.

ATLA.

I don’t particularly ship anything from it so shippy stuff is out of the question. And I don’t care to read gen stuff for it because the series itself is already damn satisfying in that regard.

Criminal Minds is one of my favorite shows, but I don't really ship (well, maybe JJ/Will a little), and i don't really feel the need to do anything fandomy with it.

Most podcasts. There are fandoms for quite a few of them but I was never interested in any of them (in some cases actively averse to them, too). (Coincidentally, those that had bigger fandoms were also the ones I dropped after a while because they started to annoy me. No clue if there's a connection though.)

Basically all of them. I can't hop into a fandom for something that's got characters played by actors. I can only ship in video games for some reason. Movies and TV shows? Nah.

Does how evil or good a CHARACTER act affect how hot you find them?

Not exactly, but how determined or strong their convictions are in either direction might.

Someone who's valiantly heroic in the face of opposition or determined to wreak vengeance despite the immorality of it are both more interesting than someone who is thoughtlessly good or evil.

If you're evil, you're not hot. You can be mean sometimes but you gotta have a heart of gold or a grey morality at worst.

If someone is really good, it increases their attractiveness for me. But them being evil does not decrease their attraciveness. Especially if I am just looking at their body. Like, Ramsey Bolton is a monster with a meh face but I am appreciative of his shirtless scenes.

Edited 2018-03-31 21:58 (UTC)

Evil characters remind me too much of my abuser, totally killing my libido. Hell, even jerks with a heart of gold have to be really, really charming for me to have the least interest in them.

For me it depends on the ways in which they are evil or good. "Disgusting, slimy evil" and "supercilious, holier-than-thou good" are total turn-offs for me.

and they seem like a normal, non-drama stirring person. And then they reblog a photo of Aileen Wuornos with the caption: I stand with her. And you find out they are an insane person.
