No problem - your "rude" is rather more understanding than many people's nice! XP
I think it is different if one doesn't fic. As far as I can tell, you relate to all shows the way I do to certain ones (e.g. Avatar - I never shipped in Avatar, nor did I read or write fic), which is why the shipping and OTPing and such totally passes you by. For me, with certain fandoms, the fandom trumps the canon - I genuinely believe the fan-Atlantis, the semi-shared, partly-fanon universe that so many fic'ers move in, is better, more appealing, than the show itself was, and wish that one to trump canon. But canon, being the shared source, will alter that fan version, and the tone of it, and sometimes I dislike the alterations.
