There are times I can, when the author goes to the trouble to actually introduce the setting and characters instead of just dropping the reader into the middle of things and assuming they already know who or what all the names mean and how the politics/magic/relationships work.

I mean I have friends that have never played my favorite game, but they read my fic for it, and I assume it works out for them because the first story in the series pretty much is one of the canon characters being introduced to all the weird stuff that makes Valendia different from just "faux-medieval-France", so they learn the characters and setting along with this character as he begins his pre-canon adventures (and meets his ride-or-die XD). And I've read some long chaptered AUs for fandoms I don't know because well, they're creating a different version of the story and characters so it doesn't matter that I don't know the canon version. It basically reads like original fic.

But I mean... that kind of takes effort and a lot of words. So if you're talking about quick and easy reads in a fandom where you're unfamiliar with canon, I can't do that either. But hey, whatever floats someone else's boat.
