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 went with 2, but I prefer to know as much as I possibly can. If you have a TV show with a six year run, and you haven't seen say, four episodes, then I think you can definitely still manage good fiction. But if you have a book series with four books and you've only read three, chances are you're missing out on large chunks of character development which might change the flavor of the character your writing for. So unless you're writing the characters before the time of the book you missed, you would be a bit off.
