130

130. Everyone assumes that self-inserts and OCs equal Mary Sues because 99.99999% of the time, they do. I read a lot of fanfiction, and I've come across a grand total of two fics featuring OCs as major characters (not supporting characters) that weren't blatant Suefics. And even both of those OCs had some Sueish characteristics.

In any case, I think what's most disturbing about your secret is that you seem to be implying that only fics with OCs can be good and original, and that all fics which feature only canon characters are automatically trite and generic. Which is completely nonsensical. Good writing is good writing; it has nothing to do with whether or not a fic features an OC. I certainly hope that's not what you meant, but that's how it came across to me.

That's not what I meant at all. It's just that I'm tired of reading the same characters doing almost... the same general stuff, slightly changed. It's like the plots get recycled constantly just to make canon characters work.

Obviously that's not always the case, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, or doesn't happen often.

And if you're going to say OCs have Sueish characteristics, you have to be able to see that many canon characters, especially of the main/lead female type, have many Sueish characteristics as well.
