Sorry about starting that, guys. I didn't mean for it to break out into any sort of argument.
I asked because I've been writing out a backstory for my OCs long before I've drawn them.
My own OC teamI had a few pencil sketches somewhere but they sucked and I lost them, and since I have a shaky hand problem I can't draw that great. I did check the various "pony creator" flash things out there and none of them had things that matched my ideas for what these fellows looked like.
That, dear sir, is a link to a fanfiction I am currently writing.
As for OC's quite a few people have them. You'll find that the people who complain about them are fewer in number but more vocal than the people with no problem with OC's.
Ah, ok.
Something else I should probably tell you, I'm actually mildly autistic. It's not a huge issue in most places but it screws up my social skills, and I can't recognize sarcasm very well.
