shipping without watching

How many of you get into a fandom, whether just to read or enough to care about pairings and things and ship OTPs, without being into the canon?[Poll #1151050]

I'll come clean!

Even though I have watched more of it now, I actually wrote a Due South ficlet when I had seen only four episodes. I've never watched all of it, even though I have it on dvd, and it's still my favourite fandom for reading, though I never participated actively. I've got OTPs in Highlander (I've seen all the Methos episodes and nothing else, but man, oh, man, I could never have gotten through that godawful drivel without copious amounts of alcohol) and the Sentinel (I've actually only seen the first two episodes - there was alcohol both times).

I may attempt to write meta about this after the poll, so I'd love to hear any thoughts you have or have had on the subject.

Katie Leung is both hot and stylish in these new pictures from the Empire Awards (and has a history of consistently funky and cool event choices). I love her classy black gauze dress, and I love it with the of-the-moment metallic jazz flats - reminds me of Diablo Cody's unexpected and applause-worthy gold croc ballet flats at the Oscars (with a rather longer and more daring gauze dress, but then, this event isn't that formal and Katie's not that old). Here she is again with Emma Watson (chic and sophisticated as always) and Evanna Lynch (in black tights and towering yellow patent platform peep toes that are cute as a button on her as usual).
