This only clicked for me relatively recently, in the context of hating most movie romances, but happily reading fanfiction with a significant romantic focus.

I just don’t care about or simply can’t “see” the romance if I don’t feel like I already know the characters and have some understanding of what appeal they see in each other.

NAYRT.

That's an interesting perspective to it, which I can understand even if it doesn't track for me as such. I enjoy romantic fanfic at least in part because I enjoy romance media, I just like watching two characters fall in love whether I already know them or not. And at least for me the fun of romance media(mostly TV shows as they have longer to develop things, movies are sometimes fine, sometimes not, lol) is experiencing new characters falling for one another. It tickles my brain right.

I feel you-- I hate romance movies (there are exceptions, and I often enjoy a movie that has a romance *in* it but like... a sci-fi plot that takes precedent, but as a genre I'm not a fan), I read a LOT of romance-focused fanfic.

Part of it is knowing the characters, but yeah, a LOT of it is the characters already know *each other*, and I know how they work. Now, there are times where I'll get really invested in a ship with side characters who don't meet or a crossover ship, but in those cases, I know either how those characters fit into the world and with mutual friends/allies, OR, I know them both so well that I can envision what they would see in each other if they met. Most of the time, though, it's that I've seen how two people work together and how they LIKE each other, and it's much easier to envision two people I've seen LIKE each other live happily ever after than two people who are hot and heterosexual and don't talk their problems out together until the end of a movie.
