It's kind of odd to me because one of the first fanfics I was really into involved an X-men OC. I haven't read that fic in AGES but I remember getting excited every time there was a new update! I thought she was cool!

I mean, I admit to not being into OCs all the time... it depends on the fandom, and the creator. But a good OC is a lot of fun! I had no idea it was a thing people took that seriously.

Maybe it's because I also get really into original series posted online, or RPs, and things that straddle or blur the line between fanfic and original fic. Or because I have a terrible weakness for "wallpaper characters" who never get much development in canon? (I mean, really, how far a stretch is it from, I dunno, a story about Crabbe or Goyle to a story about an OC? Man, do y'all remember when Blaise Zabini became the fandom darling?)

So I find this whole passionate thread kinda interesting, if a bit odd.

Yeah, i'm with you. I'm not *always* interested in the OC, especially if they're poorly written. But the OC's in, say, scifigrl47's 'Tales of the Bot' series? They're an integral part of the story, and you love them.

HA, Blaise. I just read an amazing Blaise POV fic from Astolat. (Erosmancy) It was *fabulous*. And I think a 'wallpaper' story is definitely an OC story, particularly if they're a one-off in the series/story.

I find it really just kinda mean, especially when people act like a single OC has ruined the fic *and* ruined the author for them forever. Sheesh.
