"does it count as an oc if it's an actual character"
wowzers
until recently, I'd never actually seen "OC" used... unironically, or whatever, except by people who were less than desirable
I always thought it was strictly for satire, except for when it wasn't
my point is, I'd never seen it on this forum as anything more than a joke. so, of course there would be some confusion about what it actually means if it suddenly wasn't satire anymore
and everyone else seems to have made theirs just for the sake of having them, rather than them being in a story, so
