OCs are not a bad idea. You need OCs for plot fic. Badly written OCs are a product of inexperience, like poor pacing and hackneyed plots.

Few canons do not have a sufficient cast and previous characters for you to need an OC. OC's are pure ego stroking.

Really? I take it you don't write episode style stories, crime stories or anything with a monster or guest character as problem of the week. If all you write is romance between cast characters then you rarely need OCs. For everything else, you really do.

You can always pull a monster from the back archive, or have a previous guest character return and tie up some of the inevitable loose ends from an episode. IME it is the romance stories that generally have more OC stand ins dragged in. If I never read another fic where a forty year old man suddenly falls in love with a sixteen year old in search of forbidden true love then I will be heartily glad.

Uh, huh. What a limited imagination you have, anon. I'll bet you were really good at coloring within the lines as a kid, but sucked at free art time.

You really ought to let go of that trauma.

DA

But don't you understand? Those kids who were good at free art time? It was because they were egotistical! Free art is ego-striking How egotistical do you have to be to think you can create something yourself?!

Creating anything yourself is a sign of ego. We should all just be good little boys and girls and play with what far better creators have given us.
