Description
Update - August 2014thank you everyone for the continued support and use of this stamp over the years and for making it one of the most popular OC related stamps on this site. i'm glad you like it and please, feel free to continue to use it.
for an oc related website in which you can organize your ocs and update biographies and pictures of them, please visit charahub.com (it's really a great and cool website, and sign up is easy + free) go ahead a drop a link to your hub if you want me or others to check out your characters. i can't promise i can always check of if i do check i can't promise i can always reply, since this account is inactive for the most part and because i'm busy with work + college, but i will do my best.

I've been working on my OC for three years, and I still haven't started the story she's in. I keep changing one thing or another to make her more human

I've probaly changed my characters a million+ times
I think I started 2 or 3 years ago, but I think it's been alot longer, I'm not sure anymore

I totally know how you feel. I also do a lot of thoughts and planning into my own characters. They start of one way... Go through a lot of revisions... And then he/she comes out (sometimes not like I wanted to in the beginning but at least they aren't mary-sues). And it does take months! Maybe even years. And some of us do research. Yeah, we do that.
I shake my head at Mary-Sues. They're the reasons some people go "OC? Mary-sue!!!" I weep for the good OCs... I really do.

Meh, I hope I put a lot of thought into my OC (Except I'm still new and hasn't posted a thing outside fanfic parodies). *cross fingers*

I put a lot of thoughts into my OCs, too. I have one OC that I've been working on for about a year now.

Great stamp. It always bugs me when people assume that all OC's are bad... since about 90% of what I draw/write is original fiction, that's like saying that nearly everything I make is complete and total garbage.

I know exactly what you mean,I usually will draw a sketch of a new OC in five minutes,then I'll spen the entire day thinking of the character and refining it.My favorite OC I have,I've had for over 2 years,and he's just now becoming a whole character.Because now,I think I have his whole character figured out.

I've made OCs in just a few hours & I put a lot of thought into them. And yet, apparently they're still called Sues. IDK what the hell is a Mary-Sue is or what doesn't make one. In other words, the character would have to be completely human for it not to be a Mary-Sue. And I fucking HATE humans.

I havent seen your OCs so I can't really be the judge of that. If people are claiming that they're mary sues then try giving them a few more flaws. Also, google search "the mary sue test" and try taking that. I would link you if I wasnt on my mobile (:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I'm not so good with all that stuff, I barely know what a flaw is as well. Mind if I note you some of them?
No, sorry, I refuse to take that test. The last time I took it, my character scored a 58! This here [link] explained perfectly well why that test sucks & why nobody should bother taking it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
A flaw is a bad thing about your character.
For example, an oc that's clumsy, overweight, ect ect

How old is this comment, exactly?

I agree with this stamp. I have FILES on some of my major characters, which are in stories I've written. (one was even published).
You know you have to think deeply about your OC's when you create their quirks, faults, likes/dislikes, medical histories, what their families were like, nationalities/bloodlines, etc. As I TRY to keep my OC's realistic (to an extent...some of them are fantasy) and feasible, I find it's quite fun.

Wow, that's really amazing :'D I agree. I draw a family tree for my OC's to keep track xD

i totally know what you mean... i've had the same favorite OC for over a year and a half and i'm still refining her character

How does someone make an OC in five minutes? A sketch or a prop, sure, but an OC?
Silly quips aside, nice stamp. I know the feeling. It's not a pleasant one. XD

There are actually several OCs with no thought put into them at all. Maybe the werent thought up in five minutes but they dont have much thought put into them at all. Sorry for any spelling errors btw im using my mobile phone
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's fine, I don't really mind. My thoughtless OCs are normally used as mooks or red-shirts so that doesn't really matter. As for your mobile phone, I don't mind at all. Thank you for telling me.

I agree with what you're thinking completely! I think it's really important to put a lot of thought into your characters. You want them to be their own individual, to become like a real person to you and to your reader. I have OCs that I've had floating around in my head for probably 10 years or so and I'm still working on them. My main one right now I've had for probably 2 years and I keep tweaking him all the time. Oh well. That's just my opinion.
Oh I agree with you too about not planning to have kids. Dogs and OCs will be my children!

You too, I see. XD I'd rather get myself a pet, though.

I think what you really want is 70 overly intelligent and/or well trained cats who won't make messes or tear apart your house

You know, I kinda think you replied to the wrong person, or maybe you didn't mean to make it a reply at all.
What are you talking about? Not what I was talking about, at least.

I'm sorry. I must have replied to the wrong post.

I was going to now give you the link and be that obnoxious helpful person, but it appears you already found it c:
And that's just fine, I simply wanted to make sure you were aware that your message hadn't quite gotten through (to the right person, at least) yet.

Ha ha. Thanks for being willing to help out. Wish I knew how to delete posts like that accidentally end up in the wrong spot.
