Do-it-yourself meme-ing (because "meming" just looks wrong)
I've seen that list of "TV shows I've watched" going around, and it kind of makes me exhausted even reading through the list, but for some reason it made me think of all the fandoms I've read fic in when I've never even seen the source. So here's a list of them. (Actually, for TV, I'm going to say "have seen two episodes or less," since sometimes I watch an episode or two just to see who the characters are and if I'll get hooked.) For RPS, it's included if I had to google what the characters looked like or who the heck they were.
The ones in bold are fandoms I've read extensively in despite never seeing the source. Most of the others fall into the "oh, I love that author, so I may as well check out all of their fic" category or "someone I trust recced this as outstanding even for people who don't know the fandom" category.
American Idol RPF
Bandom, in its many iterations
Band of Brothers
Generation Kill
Hockey RPS
Master and Commander
Merlin
Person of Interest
Sentinel
Stargate (SG1)
Stargate Atlantis
Suits
Teen Wolf
I suspect there are more than I'm not thinking of, but that's a good start.
