Daily Entertainment.

[muji]

Something came up in yesterday's DE that concerned me a little: Have you ever been tagged by someone and then not tagged back/not wanted to thread with them because you didn't know their canon? Why?

For those that have not: do you have a preference to play with characters from canons that you are familiar with? Why or why not?

For mods: Can I make a 'daily entertainment' tag inna backroom?

Hm! I will generally always tag back, unless I get hit with something that I have no idea how to respond to - in which case it is (usually) hunt-the-mun-up-on-AIM-time. I'm pretty terrible at tagging out, both due to time constraints and comfort zones/writerly paranoia/etc., but in terms of posts I will or won't tag, familiarity with the canon is a plus, but not a must - particularly if the post/character seems interesting enough. The only thing that might make me wary is - well, something kind of similar to what Pho was saying about Sylar being able to get a 'read' on people. There are certain kinds of supernatural/occult/whatever characters with whom I'd prefer to have a rough idea of how Crowley's demonic...ness will interface, so I'm not going in blind. Then again, sometimes that's what's interesting. ;D

(Also, make that a belated 'yea' from me as well re: daily entertainment tag.)
