Description
I'm sick and tired of people saying that fan character OCs aren't really "original" characters. I've been seeing this a lot around sites like Quizilla, and here. Let's face it: Whether you have an original fiction, RP, or fan character, they're all the same. They were created and thought out by many individuals who strive to make their characters different, unique, and more importantly, original. And people have no right saying that making characters for your favorite fandom, is insulting to the creators. They're not them, and they wouldn't know either. Also, how would that be insulting if fans are only showing their love for their favorite fandoms by writing fanfiction, and drawing fanart with their OCs? It's only the fans showing their love and appreciation. How about the Soul Calibur series? They actually encourage you to make your own original fighter, and they added a variety of armor parts, and great customization to suit anyone's preferred tastes. And don't get me started on freedom of expression and creativity. Everyone is entitled to create whatever they please. Fanfiction, fanart, OCs, ect. Oh, and they also have the bloody nerve to tell people what they should be doing. Like writing "original stories, and drawing original fiction characters". Well, no one is obviously going to conform to that. Sorry, but it's the sad truth. No one cares what you think, so lay off. On a side note: For the last friggin' time, ALL OCS AREN'T MARY-SUES/GARY-STUS! Stop stereotyping already. Please. I apologize if I'm sounding a bit angry, but this has been pissing me off for years now, and I felt that I should take a stand to stick up for my opinions and beliefs. And since no one (I think) has made a stamp like this, I just thought it needed to be done. Badly. Anyone who feels the same or whatever may use this. I wish I could.EDIT: Uploaded a newer version, cause I thought the other one wasn't that specific.

I'm not too involved with OCs... but who said that they aren't original?
I mean, OC stands for original character.

Some idiots believe that they aren't original. I don't know why that is, but it's wrong.

Agreed... Some people are just beyond understanding, huh?

I agree, and I will use this wonderful, wonderful stamp.

I'm surprised no one decided to flame this yet D: but I totally agree on this! I just hate it when people make fan characters who are supposed to be MARRIED to the original ones (like...sonic fan characters who are married to sonic himself etc...) and stuff :/

Same here. I don't like fan characters who are with an official one if they already have a lover. I've seen a Twilight fic like that. The character was the girlfriend of Edward Cullen, and Bella was nowhere to be found in the story. .__.

wow. that's....hilarious XD
but no, I really hate that :/ and THAT'S what makes me think, "Wow, I wonder what the creator of the original character would think when they see this..."Person's" images of them together." ...I'm pretty sure they'd .....vomit.

Well, maybe they wouldn't. They probably wouldn't care, or they'd be happy that people are at least showing appreciation, no matter what it may be.

I agree that fan characters and the like are all OCs. Now, it just depends on how they're made to be that determines whether I like a person's OC or not. But I've seen a great number of well-thought out characters, fan characters and original series characters alike. Just because they're original doesn't mean you have to hate them or that they're automatically Mary Sue or anything.
I have a lot of OCs and I've already faced accusation of "Oh, that character isn't original, because they look like [insert name] from so-and-so series." Let me tell you, those kinds of comments really suck. I hate having my OCs compared to established characters. How is it that my OC isn't an OC anymore? Is it just because they aren't copyrighted or something, like an actual series or show? I just don't get it!!!

Yes, so very true. I've seen tons of great original fiction characters on this site, and it sucks that people label them Sues automatically because some think it's a self-insert of the author. Just because Tetsuya Nomura (creator of Kingdom Hearts and some Final Fantasy games) and Satoshi Taijiri (creator of Pokemon) inserted themselves into their own series does not meant that everyone else who make their own original story is going to do the same.
That's awfully mean of those people, now that you mention them accusing your OC of looking like characters from other existing fandoms. They should go look at other fandoms like Pokemon, because the Gym Leader Volkner looks a lot like Yondime from Naruto. I would name other fandoms that are guilty of this, but I won't. Maybe people are just jealous that you can actually come up with your own characters and stories that are probably better than the fandoms that they like.

original fiction as in
HELLO WORLD I WILL NOW INTRODUCE MY NEW SERIES, OF MY OWN CREATION, OF MY OWN MIND. NOW WHERES MY MONEY, BECAUSE I, STEPHEN KING, LOVE MONEY. YEAH. <3
because if so, why would someone have a problem with that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. That's what it is. XD Some people have problems with those characters. I don't why, but it's wrong. >__>

... they're just jealous in that case

Granted, I don't have but about 8 OCs, but they're all original.
