The fandoms I'm into these days don't seem to get very many OCs but man, back in middle/high school I remember having to slog through countless Inuyasha fanfics to find one that didn't include an OC main character who was paired up with Sesshomaru.

I'm not averse to the idea of having OCs in fanfic but it is very hard to write them seamlessly into an existing canon in a way that most readers would be willing to accept, especially if they're given a prominent/leading role in a story. So I rarely tend to read OC-centric fics.

Oh god yeah. Not the same fandom, but still the amount of fics that used have their summary begin "[OC/Self-Insert name] is an American teenager who has moved to Japan....." or "... an American teenager who has just moved to Britain". And in a few cases "An american teenager who divorced their parents and moved to [wretched hive of scum and villainy]-city".

Thank god the tide has generally died down, although the new version seems to be "a US Marine who stumbled into...".

I swear if I never see any of those again, well if I never see any more again I'll be a happy girl. Please writers if your fic starts with any variant of one of those chop off your fingers to keep them away from your keyboard.
