Re: OCs

[(Anonymous)]

I don't mind if ocs play a major supporting role in fic. As long as they're written well, don't steal the spotlight from canon characters and aren't paired up with them then I don't mind them.

One type of oc I can't stand are children characters, especially if they're the offspring of official characters. I've never seen a fic where they were written decently, didn't annoy me or had a name that didn't make me want to facepalm.

I agree, children OCs are usually the worst.

They really are.

Acceptable only if the show being ficced doesn't have their own set of supporting characters. If, for example, an NCIS fanfic has an OC as a supporting character, I want to know what they bring to the party that Vance, Jenny, Ducky, Palmer, McGee, Kate, Tony, Gerald, Abby, Abby's midget boyfriend, Sister Rosita, Ziva, Jamie Lee Curtis, that Gibbs love-interest from the Coast Guard, Brianna, Dorneget, etc and so on for quite some time, do not bring which requires an OC to be slotted in instead.

Before writing an OC I'd recommend all fanfic authors sit back and ask "is there a canon character that can carry this role?" if the answer is "yes" or "I just want to use an OC", then they are writing an author insert and should step away from the keyboard. Turns out, very few fanfics actually need an OC as a supporting character.
