1. Why Asian media specifically? Plenty of them are subtitled or have dubs. I'm unfortunately monolingual, but if something at least has an English translation, I'm game.

2. This is making me wonder if my AO3 habits are the odd one out. I only read fic for fandoms I'm familiar with, or (very rarely) if I can vouch for the author and it's AU enough to be canon blind. I don't like KPOP or most anime either, but I don't have this problem at all because I'm... Not in those sections. Do most people read fic for series they're unfamiliar with?

Nope, I use AO3 the same way. I’m looking for fandoms I like, not just random fandoms that use certain tags. There are a handful of authors I follow, but if they switch fandoms, I don’t feel obligated to read those fics.

This secret makes me wonder HOW the OP uses AO3, and why they do it that way.

[paperghost]

Same on both counts. I don't rule out "Asian media" because I like some JRPGs and read RPF for laughs/morbid curiosity. But unless I forget to filter out crossovers, I don't have this problem of being drowned in anime or k-pop.

I also didn't think Bollywood was ubiquitous enough to be mentioned, ever.

I do sometimes read fic for fandoms I only have a passing familiarity with (if nothing about the canon actively puts me off and the summary is interesting), and that usually happens when I go looking for a particular trope and just click on a tag (like Accidental Baby Acquisition, Found Family, or Alternate Universe - Dragons). And, depending on the tag, you can get results that are heavier in certain sorts of fandoms versus others.
