Notes:

Important: I'm really sorry about this, but I accidentally misclicked and deleted the submission post from last week instead of saving it. Managed to save the first page (25) of secrets, but the rest (about 100 or so) are gone.

If you submitted something last week (Aug 26-Sept 1), please resubmit it here.

The submissions post for next week is below as usual.

Secrets Left to Post: ?? pages, ??? secrets from Secret Submission Post #296.
Secrets Not Posted: [ 0 - broken links ], [ 0 - not!secrets ], [ 0 - not!fandom ], [ 0 - too big ], [ 0 - repeat ].
Current Secret Submissions Post: here.
Suggestions, comments, and concerns should go here.

first, you don't assume going in that the new character will be a badly-done self-insert intended as romantic interests for one of the leads (which is a fair assumption in fanfic), and second, there's a level of competence in most (not all, but most) pro work that helps ensure the new character will be interesting and well integrated into the canon.

So again, it's the attitude that published equals good.

When OCs are handled this way in fanfic, I've never seen anything but praise for them.

Then we're in different sections of fandom entirely. Because more often than not, I'll see commenters call Mary Sue on even excellent OCs, and it's obvious by the comment they didn't even read the fic they're reviewing; they just saw "OC" in the tags and assumed.
