Re: OCs

(Anonymous) 2014-11-04 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
I like OCs, the problem is that they (for a great deal of fic) aren't well fleshed out--or are obnoxious. This is specific to romantic lead/protagonist of the story. I'd love to see something well done where both the canon character and OC (if romantic) are both written out, more than just two dimensionally.

OCs in gen and everything else are fine...but if they're having a major role that isn't romantic yet is central, I tend not to like it. Minor/secondary roles are fine, as long as either the Canon character is the focus of the story (unless, again it's specified it's going to be a romantic lead with an OC). I think it depends on the age of the OC. If the OC will have a big role, that is not necessarily romantic, I prefer an older (40s-60s) character. Sometimes contemporaries are okay. Flesh them out just right and OCs are wonderful additions to a story. I think it just depends on what the reader is looking for.

(Most of my fic is centered around OCs).
