From the FAQ
List Rules:Anything and everything about the characters of Benton Fraser and Ray Kowalski is permitted. Discussion and fiction involving other characters in Due South is okay, but please involve Ben and Ray in some way. Discussion of Both Rays is allowable. 'One True Ray' or 'DM sucks' discussions are not.
Fanfic and discussion of characters played in other shows by Callum Keith Rennie and Paul Gross (or any of the other cast members of Due South) is fine. If it's about Ray, Fraser, CKR or PG, it's On Topic. Off topic discussion is okay within reason.
