Your "OC" is annoying.

She is a carbon copy of another character with a name change and a slight code name change. Very, very slight. Very.

You also decided to use an idea a player of the canon character yours is a copy of for your character. Here, I don't blame you. It's an interesting idea, and RPers do tend to borrow from each other and other sources.

All of this? Just annoying enough to make me post on your "crit" page. I left a fairly polite (perhaps a bit snarky or harsh, but I tried not to be) crit about learning to develop even fandom OCs so they aren't just a face and personality of a canon character with a name change.

Your crit post does not have anon enabled, logs IPs, and posts comments unscreened, but I still posted.

The first comment seemed to disappear, and I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes LJ likes to eat comments even after they've been made. It honestly has happened to me before.

So I reposted my crit, advised turning on anon and turning off IP logging, as well as apologizing if it was a double post and explaining that I thought Livejournal deleted my first comment.

After that was posted, I saw my first comment. You'd manually screened it, and it just hadn't shown up at first. I deleted my second comment and planned on making a new comment to apologize for my error.

Except... my screenname was banned from commenting on your journal.

So. You have a crit post, but, apparently, you ban someone who gave you crit.

Bravo.

tl;dr- Venting a small annoyance about a bad OC and an... interesting... crit post experience.

doing it wrong, little miss crankypants, bad character bio, character theft, characterization fail
