I was just going to say that a lot of people are afraid to create female OCs. It's a shame.

People, and by people I mean teenaged girls, ought to be very cautions of creating OC female main characters. They tend to take over.

Eehhh, I don't think encouraging people to create OCs just for the sake of shipping is all that great an idea. Granted I'm a bit biased because I pretty much loathe OCs in general. I read fic to read about my favorite characters that already exist in canon doing stuff they don't do or aren't shown doing in canon, not to read about some random OC becoming the star of the show.

Well, I didn't mean just for shipping, though there's no reason why they shouldn't do that. There's no limit to the number of stories the Internet can hold, so it wouldn't actually stop you also getting the sort of fics you enjoy.

The very first fan fic I ever read featured a well-realised OFC as the main character, and I just assumed that OCs were a normal part of fan fic. Yes, I've seen bad ones since, but that was because the story was badly written in general, and the writer was doing an equally poor job of writing the canon characters.

I've created a lot of OCs myself (because when you turn a couple of canon characters into detectives and write murder mysteries, it's best not use a canon character as the villain, and if your villain's an OC, you need a forest of OCs to hide him or her in), and I've never had anyone complain about them, though I have had people say that they like them...
