Where are those sneaky fandom crashers at? Being in the fandom just to troll doesn't count. What fandom and why?

I don't know if I'd class it as being in fandom, but I consume a whole lot of fem!Shep/Garrus fanworks and comment on fic. I've never played Mass Effect.

Back in its heyday, I did this with Kingdom Hearts. I've still never played them. (I was a kid, idk if I would do that with a fandom now.)

Does watching only the first season of a show count? Because sometimes I'll start watching something and realize that I enjoy the fandom far more than the canon and drop the show itself.

I have also written some Supernatural PWPs without ever watching a single episode.

I've read a pretty fair amount of OUAT fic just because it's probably the single biggest f/f fandom out there and I like f/f.

Seeing as you’ve never watched the show, you’re probably the wrong person to ask, but has anyone ever written a SwanQueen take on Skin Deep? (Which is the Rumbelle/Beauty and the Beast ep with Rumpelstiltskin as the Beast episode.) I’m not a big f/f shipper, but I’m a huge BatB, and by extension, Rumbelle fan.

But I love the idea of Snow going to a bitter, exiled, older Regina and asking her for magical help, offering clemency and olive branches, because the Dark One found his son in another world and never came back, so the Enchanted Forest is fresh out of morally ambigious sorcerers to provide convenient magical solutions. And Regina looks from Her Majesty Queen Snow in her finery to her dusty, dank castle and says “I don’t want your forgiveness, but I need a maid. I’ll take your daughter.”

Back when I was a huge anime nerd, I actively looked for yaoi fic from anime I never bothered watching or games I never played. I wouldn't say I was a BNF, never wrote any of my own (that I published, anyway) but if I thought two anime dudes were cute and liked how I understood their dynamic to be, I'd go for it.

Lol I still do this now.

Does it count if I did end up watching it? 'Cause I was kinda in the Supernatural fandom for the longest time before I actually started watching it. I read a lot of fic and wrote a bit too.

I was the same with TF2. I wrote fic and contributed art to the fandom before it was released, but didn't play until it went F2P years later.

Overwatch. I've literally never played any video games except Sims, but it got super popular on my tumblr dash and I overheard my brother playing it on his PS4 so I read a bunch of fic, rbed some fanart, etc. Not so much anymore because the interest on my dash died down and I got out of my "read all fic all the time" phase for a while.

There were a couple of really good fics that I still reread, though.

Same here, more or less. I'm still somewhat into it, but I'm never gonna play it because online multiplayer is my idea of hell.
There sure is some great fanart out there, though!

LATE! But you have described my life recently; a friend plays it, saw a few secrets here with nice art, ran to the wiki & YouTube, indulged in WAY TOO MANY FICS, still in the exorcise the fic out of my system phase...all this to say, which are the fics you still read?

I confess: I've spent a lot more time reading Homestuck fanfic than I've spent reading Homestuck.

Isn't that everyone though?

Silent Hill. I love (and have drawn) fanart of it, but my (shaky) grasp of the lore comes almost entirely from the wiki. (I did recently-ish watch the first movie, though.)

Not exactly, but I roleplayed in a multifandom RPG.

I also beta read a fanfic once without knowing the canon. I spent a LOT of time on the wiki. (The person knew I was coming in as a novice, it was for a writing group. I actually really liked that he submitted fanfic to a writing group, I would've been wary of snobbery - but everyone treated it like an "original" story.)

Supernatural. I read some fic by an author I knew from other fandoms and really liked it, got pretty excited for a while. But it turns out I find almost everything about the actual show really hard to watch. I gave up after a few episodes and just found summaries if I was curious.

This is me with Cheryl/Toni in Riverdale atm, the show itself is not one I'm interested in sitting through hours of TV for but I am all over the ship, they have a story and dynamic I like. I have watched their scenes on youtube however.

Overwatch to an extent? I only ever played on the free weekends, but I like both Hanzo/McCree and Reaper/Solider76 and read a bit of fic for them for a bit.

I was in the Tales Of Series way before I actually played the games-- it was because of an ex-girlfriend. Then she told me about them and showed me pictures and I fangirled over them, even sort of glanced over the synopsis, then when it came to Tales of Vesperia, I wanted to play ti so much. So I finally did (2 years after the fact)

Now I've played all the games, but I started in that fandom with absolutely no knowledge save for good old Wiki

Nah. I have to have sampled the source material for myself before getting into the fandom.

Warhammer 40K. Well, wouldn't say I'm entirely in the fandom. But I read what I can about it, comment on it, and have read fics.

I was in the 'Eagle of the Ninth' fandom for a while (mostly just reading) without having seen the movie or read the book. Now i've done both.

Same for Hannibal (I saw a few eps but didn't finish the first season, but read the fic), and Game of Thrones (read the first five books, haaaaaaaated them, never watched the show, but love fic with Brienne), Sharpe (the Sean Bean historical thing), and Sentinel.

I never watched the show. I don't actually think it was available in the US at the time (early 2000s). I stumbled onto a fic by looking at other stories by an author I liked in another fandom. I liked the characters in that fic and then looked up some information on the show. It seemed like a show I might like, so I read a bunch more fic.

Well, almost never - read Daredevil fic mostly for the sense exploration, but the film was frankly crap and the violence level of the tv show was waaaaaaaaaaay to high for me so I have no idea what canon is and what it isn't, I just read all the things.
