19. Usually, I have a really tough time accepting OCs (even non-Mary-Sues; sometimes it seems like they’re making too much of an effort to not be perfect. There should be a sub-category of Sues for “I would be a Mary-Sue but I’ve got all these obvious-but-important-to-the-plot flaws, so of course I’m not!” characters. But I’d be curious to see these:
I tend to avoid fics with OCs in most circumstances. Mostly because said OC is the main character and I don't really care about her/him. I have read good fics with OCs that are just there to serve a purpose (to die, for example) and are never heard of again. *shrugs* I'll admit that I do have a TFA OC. I'll never write fic with him in it, barring an offhand comment or something. (I've got too many fics in the works to do much with him, anyway.)
C. A TF who turns into one of those suitcases with wheels.
...I want to do this. That would be so much fun.
E. Someone who isn’t a mech OR a femme OR some brain-breaking combination of both.
Hmm...Would an AI fall in this category? Like Teletraan-1? (If they never get a femme form, that is.)
