Re: OCs in fanfiction

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?
