But why would you participate in a fandom where you don't know the source material? I mean, I guess I understand if its something really hard to archive-binge on, like a really long-running comic book/webcomic/manga (or maybe something like old-school Doctor Who), but other than that...just why? Why'd you be interested in the fandom in the first place?

I know there have been a few times when I see my friendslist squeeing about a new fandom and think "That sounds like fun, I wish I could join in!" only to find out the source material is something that doesn't seem very interesting. I guess it's not that strange for someone to go "Fuck it, I'll join in anyway" and probably have a lot of fun doing so.

Ah, yeah, I guess that makes sense. Fandoms are often very different from the source material.

I'm archive binging on Marvel comics right now (just got up to Civil War), but I'd been reading a lot of the comics fanfic, anyway, since long before I started reading. Actually, apart from Iron Man, I'd never seen any of the MCU movies before the Avengers. I was getting and watching them even as I diving headfirst into fandom. :)

I can definitely see people liking a fandom far more than its source material. I think the vast majority of Merlin fans will attest to that. (There's a reason Merlin has one of the highest AU concentrations in fandom).

Sometimes the premise of something is awesome, but everything else is too awful to bear.

However, in the fandom people can focus on the good stuff and "fix" the bad stuff in their fics or whatever.
