--Rant - The Difference Between FC's and OC's - Learn it--
10 years ago
--Howdy.--
FC - A fan character, a character that derives it's appearance from a fandom or existing medium or, media creation / show / game / media idea that had already been produced.
I.E. A pony character is not an OC. It comes from a previously developed universe in which canon characters reside. A Sonic The Hedgehog character is not an OC. It comes from a previously created universe in which canon characters reside, so on.
OC - A character that resides in an original universe /idea/ creation of it's own that does not derive blatantly and obviously from precreated ideas. It strives to be it's own idea in it's self.
I.E. volkenfox's "Haley: A Day In The Life" series. Though characters from other creators are present as cameos, it strives to be an original idea in it's self. It does not derive or base it's self on another story's ideas.
Please stop calling your fandom-based characters "OC's." I'm not at all saying thay FC's are a bad thing. There are plenty of beautiful, enthralling and riveting FC's and fandom-based backstories that I follow. All I ask os that you know the difference. Don't let these minute descriptions enrage you, let it educate you.
