Re: Question thread

Had an argument somewhere with someone. If someone wrote an Inside Out crossover with something, about the emotions of another canon's character- would the emotions be fan-characters or not.

I can't see them as such because the emotions as I see them are a part of the individual and are SO involved with the character that I just wouldn't feel right considering them fan characters. While being a part of the setting, fan-characters are (or should be) their own individual and not reliant on another character.

The emotions are literally the character's feelings personified. Riley's emotions were still Riley in some manner. They were working FOR her, they are a part of her, they care about the things important to her. The character's emotions are as much a "fan character" as someone's interpretation of a Slytherin or Ravenclaw Harry Potter is.

They are too close to the canon character to be considered "fan characters". It would feel dishonest and kind of akin to plagiarism to consider them such.

The emotions would have to be OCs. So you know that it would be a bad idea straight off the bat.

How are they OCs?

They are part of the character. They are literally the personification of of the characters emotions.

It doesn't make sense to consider them OCs. They are literally dependent on the canon character to exist and arguably they are representations of aspects of the characters' mind. I cannot see how that makes them OCs at all. They're not coming from MY mind they're coming from interpretations of the mind of character created by someone else.

Also not that this has anything to do with the question, how would writing a fic about ANOTHER canon character's emotions be a bad idea? Was Inside Out a bad idea? because technically the Inside Out characters are OCs too.

Pathetically poor argument.

Do we have to have this same fucking thing happen every time someone mentions this goddamn subject?

Yes, some people don't like OCs. I can respect that. I could respect it better if they could stop being entitled and whiny little shits who go to ridiculous lengths to whine about them and bully and harass people for writing them.

Who has time to care this much about what fanfiction everybody else writes?

I agree with you, although I wouldn't consider it plagiarism.

I suppose.

Maybe closer to a fan interpretation of a character.

That's a question thread not a rant thread


Ask them if they think a character's daemon would be an OC or not.

I apologize I guess I meant to just explain my side but also ask to understand there's. Guess it came out wrong. Sorry.

That sounds like a good idea.
