Yeah, I tend to do this too. If I'm good with how a series ends up then I don't really feel the need to hang around fandom.

I mean it makes sense? The whole point of fanfiction is to add on to or fix things that aren't in the original, right?

[(Anonymous)]

Hard same. There are only so many ways to say "I love everything the creators have done and this is perfect." And I have no interest in debating those who disagree with me on those points.

[type_wild]

Me too, mostly, but mostly things where I think the canon is near perfect - I think they become somehow "sacred" to me, and I don't want to see inferior takes on them. Things I love but are flawed, on the other hand...

[(Anonymous)]

Hard same. I just think the looseness of a canon is a huge part of what makes it receptive to fannish engagement. We need that wiggle room within the text, that ambiguity and space.

[(Anonymous)]

This is such a perfect way of phrasing something I've been thinking for years, thank you!

I'm kind of the same way. I read just porn for some fandoms. And then there are some fandoms that simply inspire me to want to read stuff set in that world. Not perfect fandoms, fandoms that I'm interested in seeing different things explored. So far there have only been a few: Harry Potter, Tolkien, Star Wars, and Legend of the Seeker. Sometimes MCU as well. Occasionally I'll read longer things for other fandoms, but mostly not.

I'm not sure what it is. It isn't always "room for improvement" fandoms, though that's how I'd classify Potter. That's not how I'd classify Tolkien, though. But I love Tolkien's world and just love spending time in it. Same with Star Wars.

[philstar22]

That being said, Tolkien does have a "looseness" to him. I tend not to read Third Age stuff. I stick to Second and First age stuff where there is room to explore because we know the basic frame, but there is a lot of room for an author to explore the details. And Star Wars is such a huge universe, there is always room for exploring new things and also for great AUs.

Makes sense. If you love everything unconditionally then there's not much to do but squee for a bit, but that gets old quick.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. If a series is perfect (to me), then there's no need to expand on it or fix it. I can just roll around happily in the actual content. It's only when something leaves me wanting more that I'm forced to produce or consume fanworks.

This. My canon just made my ship canon, so now I really don't feel much of an urge to read fic for them anymore because it's right there for me to enjoy in canon itself. I was reading fic because I liked the ship but it WASN'T canon. Now that it is, I don't need the fic.
