What can I say? I'm a masochist. I read fanfics, and I shout obscenities at the screen all day long.

Which is why I believe that MOST writers are moronic serial Mary Suers. But, a tiny minority is able to use their brains, and exercise their vast imaginations, putting themselves into the shoes of every character without turning them into piles of crap.

Why wouldn't that minority be able to pull off an OC? Are they just intelligent enough to write other peoples' characters, but not intelligent enough to write their own?

Coming up with a character is not the same thing as understanding a character that has an established personality, background story, so on.

Some people might be able to pull it, but I've yet to read a story in which an OC doesn't turn (right away, or eventually) into a Mary Sue.
