I think a lot of people just like the genre of fanficcy romance. They'll read stuff exactly like that because they're less concerned with the characters' personalities and more concerned with the genre tropes. You can see the way that characters get smoothed out in fanon to fit them into the preferred mold.

(I used to know someone who would happily read in fandoms they knew nothing about, as long as they could look up pictures of the characters and a short summary of the setting.)

Very strange to me. Character is the most important. I have a hard time with a lot of AUs because it doesn't feel like the same person anymore.

I'll do this occasionally, though I don't need pictures of the characters just a loose basic knowledge of the source. Mostly I'll do this when I'm looking at certain tropes or kinks. There are definitely some characters or pairings that are based on a basic archetype so it is translatable for me.

Me too.

I know enough about Teen Wolf characters to do this for that fandom.

I used to do this with porn fic because for fandoms I knew I always thought it was OOC and it distracted me from what I was actually there for haha. Now I just look for original work, but I kinda understand

Yeah, I’ve done that for straight-up smut/porn too. That’s a little different in my head and I absolutely hear you on it often being distractingly OOC when you actually know the characters.
