Re: man the fanfic writing community is such a strange place

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you

I have said before "There is as much OOC Canon fic as bad OC fic. But with the canon fic people simply realize that the author must not be skilled. with fanfiction, they blame the foreign element the OC. There are many stories where the OC is bad so people seeem to decide it's always bad. "

On one hand they may have a point. Many fanfics are written by young teenagers so they have a poor grasp on characterization and character creation.

There are plenty of Possession Sues, canon characters turned into a Mary Sue by the author.

OC's shouldn't be considered bad writing or should be avoided because of this. Really people need to accept that there's going to be a lot of poor quality fanfiction because many fanfic writers are young. They don't have to read it and they don't have to like it, but just realize that it's going to happen.

A more constructive way to handle this is to try and educate people on how to write well.

"I maintain that a good writer can pull off a good OC fic, while a bad writer wouldn't be able to do neither that nor canon character fic correctly."

That's true. That's why many Mary Sue / bad OC fics have OOC canons. the existence of the OC didn't make them that way. They would have been that way no matter what because the writer is unskilled.
