A couple of sleepless nights ago on Twitter @aerynvala and I (@technosage) got into a conversation about OCs and the use of them in fanfic. ( Allie is a fannish Victorian? )
Oh totally. And I love my OCs. I mean I absolutely love them. It's one of my favorite things to do to create OCs (in my RPs, I have slews of them). It was specific to the romance issue that it came up, and in the end, I still feel I'm mostly mocking us both for being prudish. ;)
Also, randomly, do you have a bunch of Carter icons hanging out somewhere? I play her in an RP and I'm tired of the ones I have. Yours are always gorgeous!
I don't disagree with any of that. I think it's a peculiar twist on the romance angle of OC-creation that makes it feel strange or awkward, or just embarrassing when people do it badly. In the end for me it really does come down to an embarrassment squick. If you do it well, then brava, but if you don't, oh god, and I just want to hide my face
