I might understand this? Kind of?

Like, there are certain stories I love and respect too much exactly as they are. Stories that I find meaningful, and beautiful, and that I take really seriously. Battlestar Galactica is an example of this for me. It wasn't perfect, but it just consistently astounded me with how good it was. All I wanted was to sit there and shut up and let it effectively pummel me any which way it chose to. So I could never get into the fandom, because I'm not interested in seeing other versions and interpretations of the story and the characters.

However, for me that's only one way of loving a text. I have other texts I love to bits, yet I love them only in part for what they are canonically, and just as much for what they could be, and/or what fandom has done with them.

So I wouldn't say I can't enjoy fandoms for things I really love. But I do agree that there are some things I love in a particular way, for which I can't really enjoy their fandoms.
