Re: OCs in fanfiction

[(Anonymous)]

Fine in small roles or the occasional necessary larger one but the more the story becomes about the OCs vs the canon characters the less I care. Also honestly I don't mind if someone wants to write all about their OCs but I hate when the author then complains about how it's so unfair no one wants to read their giant OC-centric fic. Facts are, the majority of fanfic readers are here for the canon cast and that's not exactly a secret. Write that OC epic if you want but don't expect it to get the kind of attention fics featuring the actual cast do.

Oh my god, this!

I just read a fic where the writer inserted an OC out of nowhere in the middle of the fic as a main character that everyone knew and loved all along, even though they were never mentioned before. And then when the fic started getting less engagement, especially comments, the author started complaining. Saying “I’ve gotten more feedback from brick walls”.

Like, I can sympathize a little. But have some self-awareness that maybe people got sick of reading your borderline Mary Sue suddenly stealing the spotlight from the canon characters and plot?
