Pairings are difficult. I don't think I'd ever write Canon Character/OC, personally.

I won't say never, but it's not anything I've ever been interested in doing.

I think it would be too easy to write "who I think would be perfect for this character" rather than really having a plot.

But I won't say it can never be done. Or that I'd never find myself trying. (Every time I say never, I end up doing the thing I said I'd never do. It's dangerous to say never.)

Heh, same here.

(It's sometimes fun to tackle some dreaded/hated trope or genre and see if you can actually make it work.)

I've written about OCs who are the exes of canon characters...that's always fun XD

I think that's the issue. Like with romance fics, for OC fics for every one great one there are about four shit ones. Hence why some people get narked about romance to.

Those four shit fics are "who I think would be perfect for this character-oh me!" more often than not, while the really decent OC fic gets lost in the spam of the crap ones (see the first few pages of Transformers new fic on ff.net) and because there's not really a centralized place to post aside from gen comms-which can be very quiet too- that one great fic gets barely any traffic.

What I'd love to see is a multifandom OC comm, with moderators who can see the difference between blatant self inserts and Mary Sues and pull the spam stuff.
