Collecting Bones for the Death God's Throne

So I saw this post linked from another post, and I loved the fandom classification system so much that I had to make my own post. Sometimes I have difficulty communicating to people how me "being in" Teen Wolf fandom differs from how I'm in, say, the Oxenfree fandom. (also my intro fandom page is much out of date.... oops.)

Anyway, I thought this would be fun! Here goes.

Fandoms for which I genuinely like the source material, and would enjoy it and seek it out whether there were fanworks or not: Primordia, Oxenfree, The Goblin Emperor, A Memory Called Empire, ERASED, Natsume's Book of Friends, all Tamora Pierce works, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Oofuri, Run With the Wind, The Magnus Archives

Fandoms where the source material is entertaining, but fanworks add something significant to my engagement with it: Boku no Hero Academia, Sherlock Holmes stories, Star Trek (TOS and Reboot), Star Wars, Yuuri on Ice, Haikyuu, Treasure Planet, All for the Game, Welcome to Night Vale, Pokemon, Hannibal

Fandoms where I really can't take the source material very seriously except as a kit that fans will take apart and reassemble into something that I love: Teen Wolf, Harry Potter franchise, The Hobbit, Marvel, The Flash, Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and XV

Fandoms where I really dislike the source material but I actively seek out and enjoy the fanworks: Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Naruto

This was a pretty fun exercise! It's interesting - I think I engage mostly with fandoms that fall into categories two and three, and then occasionally get really sucked into a fandom in category four or one. Also, things in category four I got into through a favorite author's work and then realized that I *really* couldn't watch the show.

Anyway, this was fun to think about it, so if any of you want to do it, you should! I'd be interested in seeing other people's lists.
