If you tried to watch the show and didn't like it, fair enough. If you haven't tried to watch it, I'd say at least give it a shot. You might end up not liking it and just wanting to stick with fandom, but you might be pleasantly surprised.

It still always baffles me a bit as to how someone could write for a fandom in which they aren't familiar with the canon, but I know lots of people who do, and that's a personal thing, since I don't feel like I can get into a character's headspace enough to be able to feel comfortable writing them unless I'm familiar with the canon. Keep writing if you enjoy it. As long as you're not a) trying to get into arguments about what is and isn't canon without knowing the canon or b) telling everyone that the show is shitty without having watched any of it, I've got no beef with you.

I would agree with your paragraph about probably every fandom in existance except Teen Wolf. The fandom and the canon are barely related at this point.

I think it all depends on what parts of fandom you're looking at. Fanon has taken on a life of its own in large parts of the fandom and within specific groups--particularly certain parts of Sterek fandom--but if you look at smaller subsets of the fandom you can still find people whose fandom involvement is tied in pretty heavily with the canon. Particularly with people whose favorite characters are not Stiles or Derek or people who are into femslash or even a lot of people who are multi-shippers or ship smaller pairings in general. And there are subsets of Sterek fandom who aren't as tied up in fanon, too. A lot of these parts of fandoms are not as connected as Sterek fandom, though, and so it's harder to find them. It's also easier for them to get drowned out by the more vocal majority, so it's easier to just assume that they don't exist. They may not have the bigger presence, but they are still there.

Seconding the first paragraph. I refused to watch this show for a long time because it sounded so stupid, but then a friend who usually likes the same things as me talked me into watching it and I was pleasantly surprised. It's not half as bad as I expected and some parts are really entertaining.
