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 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?).

Adorned is my personal favorite Resonant story and the story she wrote as a sequel to it, Borealis, however I think I'm the only one who likes Adorned above all her others.

Nope. I love them all, but Adorned hits me square in the heart.

and have only seen Highlander from years and years ago (is this a new one?).

Nope. But SpikeTV is rerunning them, and Peter Wingfield is hot.

Color me at least slightly boggled that people read fics in fandoms for shows they don't watch.

Heck, it's how I got interested in all my most recent fandoms. I think I'd seen an episode of Smallville before I started reading the fanfic, but due South and Sentinel I hadn't, and Stargate I actively disliked (mostly because in my head it was like the snotty kid who moves in from a big city and thinks she's going to be all popular just because she shops at stores that have last names attached to them (as opposed to, say, "Hank's") so until she settles down she keeps trying to upstage the kid who actually is cool because she's just spiffy and funny and really smart and nice, but for a while you're afraid people are going to buy into City Girl's guff and start trying to act all snotty like her and meanwhile there'll be smaller and smaller attendance at the Grand Pirate Adventure Princess Veterinarian Superspy outing every weekend until it's just you and the girl who used to be cool and she can't help but be a little diminished in your eyes, but then twenty years later you come back and they're all living desperate-to-impress Big City Lives and she's got some wicked cool life in the outback either painting or rescuing wallabies and she sweeps you off your feet and you have a passionate affair after which you live happily ever after and just end up feeling sorry for all the other girls because they too could have grown up smart and cool and had a wild passionate affair and a happy ever after, so there's a sort of bittersweet tinge to your contentment) until the fanfic got me to take a second look.
