OP

(Anonymous) 2013-09-22 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Actually I'm the OP

and to be honest I'd love a space to discuss things about the world. Like maybe discuss things like other wizarding communities /districts whatever. More conversations about aspects of the world I guess.

I mean I'm not really as interested in just talking about one OC. Just maybe being able to talk about an Elsewhere fic's CONCEPT (a story about someone used to the British wizard world moving to another wizard community and getting used to it, a person from another district viewing the actions of Katniss and Peeta, etc, etc) and open discussion about that topic.

Discussion involving OCs is far more than "HEY I HAVE THIS AWESOME SUPER CUTE OC LET ME TELL YOU HER LIFE STORY". I'm interested in discussing exploration and concepts. Or just maybe discussing ideas on a story about a canon character who is more minor and their life, which may or may not involve OCs.

Example from Danny Phantom fandom: Danielle..only four or five people know she exists and she usually flies off by herself. What the hell does she do all day anyway?

Or from the same fandom say I had an idea for a reunion fic between both sides of the protagonists' family. How would both sides react to one another. Is the protagonists' eccentric father well liked and similar to his family or is he the odd one out. Do the two sides fight.

I don't see why the idea of talking about these kind of concepts and thoughts and observations should be automatically uninteresting. Yes, someone talking about a specific character nobody knows about would be, but....that's not all OC writers want to do. You know?

I mean I know conversations about fics don't happen everyday, but when they do It would be nice to talk about a concept with OCs without someone saying "Yeah, yeah and I bet your self insert gets it on with [protagonist]." It's not like I'm busting down the door to talk about so and so original character every time I comment but when I see people talking about fic...I feel left out because I feel like I can't talk without being reminded 'your idea is inherently boring'.
