Re: OCs

[(Anonymous)]

I think OCs often make fandom a LOT more interesting. I've been active recently in the fandom for an action/adventure franchise where, at the end of each film/book, the villain is killed or captured and the status quo is restored. This is just how the franchise operates; it's not dependent on continuity, and each entry is supposed to stand alone. The number of recurring characters is in the single digits.

So if I want to write a plot-heavy, canon-compliant sequel to one of the entries, it's almost necessary to write OCs to provide both threat and support to the main character.

Another point people frequently forget: If you are writing fic for a character with limited "screen time" whose backstory is never explained in canon, you are /essentially creating your own character from the skeleton provided by the creator./ This has much more in common with creating an OC than in exploring a character that is well-defined by canon.
