Not awkward at all and, hey, always happy to share The Way (*g*) with a fellow small fandom fan.
Go to the works page for the fandom you're interested in. In the top right hand corner, you'll see the 'RSS Feed' button. Right Click on it and 'Copy Link.' Basically, you're fetching the number assigned to that fandom by AO3.
Go to your profile page. Under the 'Read' dropdown list, click 'Feeds.'
Under 'Add Feed' paste your 'copy link' into the Feed URL: box. Hit the Add Feed button. IF someone else has made a feed already for it, that'll pop up and you just subscribe.
If no one's created a feed for it, the next page will say 'Create Feed Account.' Come up with a name for it you can easily identify if you want to sort through your feeds later, and hit the Create Feed Account button. Subscribe.
Presto! It'll now throw any new story up on your reading list.
