I think we're working with different definitions of OOC, actually. Take a hypothetical slash pairing where one of the creators says "Character A is completely straight." Can A/B be IC? I say absolutely, if one works off the existing characters and their existing dynamic. What you're talking about, I'd call canon-compliant. Slashing character A goes against one canon fact about the character, but that is not the entirety of the character. I'd unhesitatingly call the fic IC if the character otherwise acted just as character A would in canon if the matter of his sexuality was tweaked.

So, basically, my problem's with the "100% OOC" part of the OP, because I think that's defining the characters solely by their relationship.

This is true of the real world. This is not true of mecha anime.
Heh. I wouldn't say that a fic not written in the spirit of the canon necessarily has to be OOC--I've read excellent serious fic about comedies and comic fic about serious shows where I'd call everyone in character. But again, that's my definition of OOC.

And just to make things clear, I'm not saying that somewhat OOC pairings are a bad thing (I love Foe!Yay. I read a lot of this. XD).

Well, in the case of the slash pairing - it's IC in that you're adhereing to their relationship and it's also OOC in that the character is completely straight. I don't believe that IC and OOC is an either/or situation - it's a spectrum. You can be IC on some things and OOC on other things, and I think most fanfic writers do sacrifice some things for others. I think that's the difference in the definition you're using, but you're bringing in other terms like "canon-compliant" to justify your concept of an IC/OOC dichotomy.

I also think that's the problem with the OP - she's also employing an IC/OOC dichotomy where there doesn't need to be one. Are Simon and Nia less IC for not being in love? Yes. Are they 100% OOC? No, probably not.

Heh. I wouldn't say that a fic not written in the spirit of the canon necessarily has to be OOC
