Any sort of canonical interaction is not okay regardless of reason. It does not matter if you have somehow figured out a way to do so, the base line is that as a Fanon community, original characters strive to integrate themselves in the setting rather than in the main story as a form of passive world building.

Interaction with canon characters not only don't make sense, it comes off as lazy, effortless, and unimaginative. After all if said characters were good characters to begin with, why would they ever need a crutch like having a deep and established relationship with canonical material?

Interaction with canonical characters does not automatically make a character or its creator likable. It gives the illusion of fame or importance in someone elses story.

So we disallow it not because it's not possible, but because it's unethical in a literary sense.
