Re: Writing a Good OC (and/or recs?)

Anything that makes them stand out is a bad thing.

No, tell me again why OCs should never have any distinguishing characteristics.

Honestly, the type of OC AYRT is advising would annoy me because the writer is trying so hard not to do something that could possibly bother someone that they're making the character really boring.

This kind of philosophy is actually terrible writing. Try to please everyone and you please no one. This smacks of the really toxic "Mary Sue paranoia" bullshit that caused the writing comm I'm in to consider retiring or banning the term altogether.

I mean, there's being a distinctive character (likes, dislikes, skills, failings) and then there's being sorted into Sparklypoo. It's not really that hard to tell the difference.
