I hear that the reason for it is a couple of authors who who basically wrote OC-Fiction as Harry Potter and Twilight fanfic, then used the fanbase to get attention of a publisher, whereupon they stripped the last few canon bits out and put it out as Original Fiction. That opened the floodgates and a lot of wannabes are still trying to use that route into the publishing industry. Can't blame the reader for not being psychic enough to not spot the people who like writing original fiction with a few fandom elements from the the people wanting to steal a fandom to get a contract.

Yeah...but from what I've seen they're a minority.

Many of the OC writers I see either make sure to tag correctly , or in the case of young writers can't wait to announce their shiny new OC.

I can see frustration in that situation, but I don't see why every OC writer needs to get a bunch of shit and scrutiny.

It's kind of like geek girls who don't like getting quizzed on how 'real" they are just because some people have met people who faked it for attention.

Two people did something, and that now means that everyone has to come under suspicion (and asking for people to be given the benefit of the doubt = asking readers to be psychic)?
