Because I've talked about this briefly with a couple different people lately, and apparently my issues are not everyone's.



Edit: that should read "you can write" in the fourth option, not "you write".

I voted for #2, but would also add: I throw in references to toon!Supes or comics!Supes or Lois & Clark!Supes as the whim takes me in Smallville stories, but I don't feel the need to become expert in those canons if all I'm doing is a wink and a nod. There are other situations where a reference to a canon is all you need to be able to pull off convincingly, albeit not many...

Yeah, I would consider that definitely a different situation from actually, say, writing a story in those fandoms. Although with SV it does kind of get complicated when you start using characters from the other universes in a Smallville story.
