If it's fanfic, then I dislike the OC to be the protagonist.

(It's different for original fic, of course). To me, OC's should be there to flesh out the world or progress the story - but in the end, I want to read about my fav characters, not 20 paragraphs about an OC.

This, pretty much. I've read some great fic that had awesome minor OCs, but I also tend to love minor characters in published books.

I hate it when people's OCs just take over a fic, or where full chapters are devoted to the OC. I'm not going to bother to read that shit.

Yes, this. Perfectly said.

What you said sums up my feelings as well.

In general I don't mind OCs in fanfic "fleshing out the world or progressing the story" -- but I don't want them center stage. I'm in a fandom because of the canon characters: they are the ones I want explored.
