...Goodness.

But that's one of the glories of a panfandom game, for me!

I mean, okay. I am much more likely to both look at the userinfo and to ping someone if I don't know the character and I'm threading with, say, River. And say "Help! I do not know your canon! Tell me anything I ought to be aware of?" But that's because she's a psychic without shields; with my others, I am always happy for more info because it's fun, but I don't really need it. And no matter what, I'd never refuse a thread because I didn't know the canon.

Heck, I'm pretty sure I'd never read the Dark Tower when I threw River at Roland the first time, and look how that turned out. And that's only one example of many from my own experience.
