Date: 2005-05-08 03:30 am (UTC)2. OCs make the world go round. They're completely necessary for writing thing that do not focus on Gryffindors in Harry's year besides, especially when it comes to period fic. They make me happy.
3. They're fun. They have the capability to really come to life on you, if you're lucky.
4. Yup. All the time. And I'm fond of them too.
5. Good for a laugh, but I don't know how far I'd trust it.
6. *shrugs* I think it had to do with the fandom moving onto LJ. FF.net is great for OCs. On LJ... LJ is where you go for smut, especially slashy smut. And people here are trying to be as unlike ff.net as we can, so thus we are wary of OCs.
7. Mmm, I take them on individual cases.
8. Yup. Doesn't mean anything bad, though. I like OCs.
9. An OC's evil twin.
10. Juliana Malfoy, Severine Snape, Dracaena Malfoy, Ercole Zabini (all by
