LOL I think I must be odd. Crossovers are my bread and butter. There are even several canons I only know through looking them up during/after awesome crossover fic. And then I get familiar with the fanon by reading more fic of that series without seeing the source material. And HP crossover fic dragged my ass back into Bleach fandom last year after having dropped it nigh on six years back.
I had to take time to really rack my brain about this question because I kept thinking of ways I went fangirl about things. IDK how you define "fannish" in this particular instance, but supposing it means not wanting to make/consume fic/art/discussions/whatever, perhaps Nodame Cantabile would fit. I only got like nine volumes in before my money ran out, so that could be a contributing factor. Even then, I still collected some pretty art and desktops. Not as many as I usually do (I try to funnel my hoarding instinct into digital things to keep house clutter down ahahaha), but still. I don't know why I didn't go fannish on Nodame. For the most part, if I really like something, I get fannish. I've figured out I was shipping and ficcing before I knew what they were, way back when I was like seven and making up a David the Gnome and Littlebits crossover and thinking Lillibit and Willibit would get married when they grew up. OTL
Actually, wait, maybe one more: the book The Mists of Avalon. IDK if I should count it though. I read it for a research paper in high school, but loved it so much that I went overboard with the research out of interest/fun. But I never did fanart or read or made up fanfic or ever wanted to, really.
Question: Is there a fairly highly-praised series/franchise/movie/whatever with a big following that you just could never get into? (For me, the answer would be Ouran HSHC.)
