Re: Do you read fandoms you don't know?

I'll read fandoms where I haven't necessarily read/seen the source but have picked up enough that I have a rough idea of who the main characters are or at least the general premise. I'd be reluctant to comment where I don't have the canon knowledge to judge characterization or know what elements are canon vs the fic author's, but I might give kudos.

I'm very unlikely to read fic for a fandom I know genuinely nothing about, though. I suppose I might if I came across an awesome rec that made it sound really up my street or I liked the author's work in other fandoms enough to take a chance on an intriguing summary, but I don't search for fic from unfamiliar fandoms by tag/trope.
