That's a good point. I can't be fannish for something unless there's at least one character I can feel an emotional connection with, so I'm always character oriented. My level of canonwhoredom depends on the fandom -- I don't really care about canon in fandoms where I haven't seen the show and am just reading the fic because it contains hurt/comfort. But anything where I actually like and care about the source material (i.e. anything I'm motivated to write fic for, instead of just lurk)... there, I try very hard to make my fic line up with my interpretation of canon, and can't read or enjoy fic that doesn't.
This includes all fic that conflicts with my OTPs, because I don't OTP a ship unless I think it's supported by canon.
