I've read fanfic for shows i've never watched, it's been a way to get introduced to new shows.
Also a reminder--MI-5 is on tonight on A&E at 9 EST for those of you who watch it/started watching it.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Very true. And not nearly as bizzare as writing fics for shows you don't watch.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Whereas I've never been able to really get into fic for shows I don't watch, no matter how well-written and plotted the story as a story. It's a different strokes thing, I suppose.

Mmmm. MI-5.
And yes, today's HL ep is extra-slashy. Big Gay Poet Love.

Writing fics for shows you don't watch can be considered bad form.
Although I've done something like this, sort of. Back a few years ago when the Buffistas were on TT, I was really into this X Men Iceman/Gambit fanfic series (before the movie came out) and I read it, liked it, but it didn't have an ending yet so I wrote one. Gudanov actually beta'd it for me.
I've since taken it down, but the story itself, once I changed the names and altered a few details read exactly like any other generically bad original fic.

I can't even.
I guess I can say I watched Due South, watch Smallville and have never given Farscape a proper chance. Is that enough OnTopic not to count as filler? Hope so.

The Farscape dvds are at my library and keep saying "watch me watch me" but they are always episodes I've seen and I'm not interested in seeing again.
I really should like Farscape it's got all the elements for me to like it but...I just...there's no click.

Mmmm, Farscape.

I totally read Speranza's dueSouth fic, even though I've only seen about three episodes of the show. Because she's hysterically funny, and she can plot. "Chicago's Most Wanted" is brilliant.

Everyone should read Resonant's due South fic too.

I've never seen Due South, occasionally watch Smallville (though will no doubt start watching regularly when it leads into Angel), watched most of the first season of Farscape when I had cable, which I will again soon, watch Stargate regularly though am behind because of the cable thing, and have only seen Highlander from years and years ago (is this a new one?).
