Oh, I didn't mean to come off like I was arguing with you or anything! ^_^;; Gotta love the internet where honest questions come off sarcastic. The only beef I had with your comment was that you used "Mary Sue" and "OC" interchangably.

It's just that I always thought "Mary Sue" was a TYPE of OC. And I subscribe to the idea that: All Mary Sues are OCs. Not all OCs are Mary Sues. And to use the terms interchangably gives all OCs a bad rep (as being written as ultra talented and supposedly irrisistable characters being written by "young fans"). As a result, writing my OC--which should be something I enjoy--makes me anxious and feel dirty (not beacause I'm opposed to Mary Sues, but because I know I can do better than that) and I end up not enjoying it at all.

But at this point I don't even know what I'm talking about any more, so I'll stop. I can't believe I wasted so much time on such a silly non-existant arguement. XD
