Lazy Saturday post

dolorosa_12Today's two fandom meme questions are so outside of my general approach to fandom that I've been staring at them for quite a while and wondering how to answer them (although I had an amused moment contemplating the idea of the Peaky Blinders characters as contestants on Bake Off). But it's hot, and I'm tired, so I'm going to be lazy, and throw things over to you.
Instead of answering the questions, I'm going to pose one of my own: for those of you who enjoy crossovers, fusions, and setting change AUs, what it is that appeals about them? I always love to hear about other people's different approaches to fandom, and different tastes when it comes to fanworks.
Day 9: Drop the cast of a fandom you follow into a reality tv show - who/what/why?
Day 10: Drop your OTP or small ensemble from the fandom they're in into another fandom - how do they do?
Day 11: What would make you leave a fandom, or prevent you from getting into it in the first place?
Day 12: Who is someone that you share the most fandoms with?
Day 13: Squicks - What are some things that squick you in fandom - not necessarily "icky", though it can be. From anything involving blood, to bad grammar.
Day 14: What fandom broke your heart?
Day 15: What fandom pairing took you over like Venom took over Eddie?
Day 16: Do you have a fandom that you follow - either regularly or casually - with little to no knowledge of canon?
Day 17: Do you prefer art, fic, or vids? Why? Bonus: If someone was to give you a fandom gift, what format would it be?
Day 18: Recall a time when two of your fandoms collided, at least in some way. For example, a song that you fell in love with from one fandom showed up in a second fandom.
Day 19: What is something that you associate with a character in fandom, but aren't sure if it's canon or fandom?
Day 20: A random character shows up at your doorstep at dinnertime saying a friend sent them. Why did your friend send that person, how does it go, and what do you talk about?

I also just love hearing about people's different approaches to fandom, their tastes in fic (both reading and writing), and the reasons behind them, so this was really interesting to read.
