3 - I don't think it's ever been an issue of OC-creators being pegged as untalented, darling. Creating original characters deserves more respect than writing canon characters. It's more difficult. But this is also why people who use OCs get a lot of criticism. Many of them are poorly made. They're overpowered or unrealistic, or the writer is using them for wish fulfillment (a relationship with a character they like, revenge on one they dislike, etc.) It's the multitude of shitty OCs that gives them their bad name.

So I say, go on. Write them. But if you don't take your time and tread carefully, people will put you down, and with reason. Fanfiction's a good place to start, if you're having trouble developing a plot or a universe, but if you're this interested in OCs, I encourage you to start a whole new original story and don't worry about putting them into fanfic. Less chances of popping out an unintentional Sue/Stu that way.
