I'll have to politely disagree with you.

There are times when there simply isn't a canon character available for a particular role in a fic. Then the writer has the option of A) creating an OC or B) picking up a random minor character and creating virtually their entire personality anyway.

The other time I use an OC is when doing so will be a catalyst. Like if a canon couple is married, canon gives every indication they want children.. there are no canon children. If I want to read/write a story where said couple deals with their children, then I have to create an OC or two.

I do not want to write an original fic. If I wanted to do that, I would do it. But I want to see canon characters reacting to things outside of canon. I know it's not everyone's cuppa, but readers painting all authors who add OCs with the same brush is also grating.

Thank you

I honestly find this whole "once it's not completely original flavor its not fanfiction anymore" to be honestly idiotic and I don't know why people are defending it so ardently.
Like I respect the people who don't want to READ it. But I don't get the whole "well you're practically writing original fic anyway just admit it"

Those people are the ones that I disagree with. Like it, don't like it whatever. I'm still writing fan fiction.
