I think it depends how you do it. I'm currently reading a story that's well over 75% OCs in it's a sequel and it's lost the magic of the first which was predominantly canon characters. Not only has the author a) rushed introducing the OCS, b) sacrificed the original storyline but c) it seems like a wanking fantasy with all the characters paired to OCs or sudden relatives to them. Whereas it could have been excecuted well as a story not a sequel to the first and without a and b too.

If you've got a link to your fic that's not like that, but is playing in the verse then I'd love to give it a read but even my favourite OC fic is becoming very Mary Sue with the character being immune to *everything* with no flaws and no wrongs. I think it's very hard to write OCs as good protagonists in an existing verse unless it's years later or something or most of the original canon characters are just mentions. But that's my personal opion.

I do enjoy fanfic exploring characters we already have because although a lot is repetitive plot wise (which can be interesting with different authors styles) every now and again something sweeps through and makes me dwell more on a character's motives or actions.

I tried very hard to give her flaws, as well as to make the story interesting and the details rich even for those not in my fandom. I don't know if you are or not, but especially if you're not I'd love to know what you think.
