Yeah, but I'm telling you straight that using OCs would soften the point of the story. I had written 2 of them for the Sonic fanfic section and didn't get much reviews despite how well written they were (Sonic itself is pretty weird...). But few get interested in OC stories because they'd rather see the main characters go through the motions.

It's why I don't like Thompers fics because they're just OC-insert stories that don't change much from the episode itself. I also don't like another user's stories as they tend to follow the same category too. If OCs are going to work, they need to have a decent backstory everyone can understand, or at least write it into the plot itself.

Also Austin, I know you may have a hard time understanding what others tell you, but I never told you it was a torture porn. Just read the sentence for what it is.
