Re: As someone who religiously warns for OCs

But... not having OCs doesn't mean you'll automatically like a fic, and you don't automatically like all the OC-less fics you read, right? The way you find that out whether or not you like something is by reading it. The very millisecond you decide you don't like it, you can stop reading.

So... exact same method for determining whether or not you like/dislike a fic, regardless of OC content. How is that time wasted?

Agreed even if everyone tagged their OCs people would still wind up wasting their time on things they don't like. Because they will find other things to hate.

AYRT

Someone down thread explained it better, but when I'm looking for stories on Character A - I want stories on Character A. I don't want to go into something tagged for Character A, only to find out it's all about an OC or Character B or C or X.
It doesn't matter if it's well written. Maybe it's something I could even enjoy if I was in the mood and wanted to read about who it really is about. But right then at that moment? I want to read about character A and I don't like being tricked into it because urgh what's so bad about being honest and upfront your tagging.

and individually those milliseconds (or minutes depending on the writing style) will pile up and I will get annoyed if I'm constantly opening and closing fics trying to find something about Character A because yes I'm wasting time I could be reading :C So I'm saving time by having ways I filter fics out and that will include things like spelling mistakes in summaries, a low word count and yes if there are OC main characters. Just..tag your main characters and that includes OC's and we'll all be happy because I'll find what I want and the author should hypothetically get the readers they want o_O
