Just as a friendly reminder-

Breaking the fourth wall is sort of part of the premise of DDD. However, not everyone wants their characters spoiled about their own canon, so for etiquette's sake please run that sort of thing past the other mun first. :) That's what we've been doing, but we had a question about it so I'm reiterating.

(And don't overdo it to the point it gets old, of course. Norry wanted me to add that. ♥)

We haven't had any actual complaints about this so far, so let's keep it that way!

Thanks, everyone.

N00b here, with a n00b question

I've been wondering about that, and I have a related question.

Does Wikipedia exist on the DDD internet, and if so, does that mean that characters can research the canon of other people? Or do we just pretend that wiki doesn't have that kind of information and is just about other stuff?

I'm inclined to hope the latter, because it could give people incredible advantages, but I wasn't sure if this had been established as a rule or not.

I'd just like to point out that no one ever complies with mun-preference on that sort of thing and it's mildly irritating. I don't know that simply reiterating it will make any difference in that. I haven't made complaints because it's petty, but it does happen a lot, and it's really irritating.

It's one reason I dropped Light.
