10. I know how you feel. There are some characters who I'd like to explore the idea of romance with in fic, but I just don't see anyone as being appropriate for them. And I'm way too embarrassed to write them an OC.
Still, I have a lot more respect for people who write believable OCs with a difficult-to-pair character than those who just toss them at the nearest canon character, sometimes even if said canon character is related to them (and I'm not talking about the people who appreciate incest ships for what they are, which is cool, but about the people who ship incest simply because they don't see any other options for pairing up the characters in question), wildly different in personality/outlook/goals/etc, or creepily inappropriate in some other way. Not that I have anything against people who ship weird pairings because they genuinely like the pairing, but sometimes it just seems like they don't so much care about the pairing as they do about seeing their favorite character paired up.
To wrap up that tl;dr with some encouragement: when I was much younger and in some ways more shameless, I did do a canon character/OC fanfiction for a favorite of mine who I just couldn't see with any of the canon cast. Not many people read it, but the ones who did liked it.
