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

[(Anonymous)]

Yes I do, and I've found some wonderful stories that way.

There are a few canons I don't have access to but that I've got somewhat into via exchanges fics and when I see fics for those in another exchange, I'm likely to read them. Picked up some low-key ships that way.

I also enjoy randomly browsing collections. If a story turns out to make no sense at all without canon knowledge, I can always either backbutton or fill in the gaps with google. A good story might convince me to seek out canon as well.

Yuletide works especially well for me in that regard because there are a lot of fandoms I'd never encounter otherwise and because I tend to seek out gen or PG-level shippy stories.

I actively avoid this for anything in the realm of porn or kink because with that I've run into some hard squicks too often that could easily have been avoided with some canon knowledge. I have to be pretty desperate and out of material to scratch a certain itch to use google to get some basic parameters about an unfamiliar canon so I can venture into it for porn and kink. Rarely ever happens these days.
