Yeah, so, if any of you have read my stories, I'm an avid OC (Original Character) lover and maker.
When I finish one of my multi-chaps, I'm gonna start another multi-chapter... one about South Park...
If anyone laughs, I'll...I'll... hmm, what should I do...
Anyway, I know a lot of people on FanFiction don't like it when FanFictionists over-does OC's in chapters, hence focusing on them a lot. I'm not quite sure what would be a good way to introduce a new OC...
HELP ME. SOS. ANYTHING.

It means I need help with my formatting. If you are on FanFiction, people are really gonna flame your story if you include too much of OC focus. So, does anyone know what is considered "too much"?

if you add the OC very quietly and if they are with the main ppl then it is fine. if the oc is a long lost brother or girlfriend then it gets VERY mary/gray-sue (a purfect OC).

Night does some fanfic, perhaps she can help you ^-^
I also know something small about the topic. (I read this somewhere) Readers like 2 read more funny stuff, like when the story is making fun of the book. Or at least read stories that have funny made-up characters that make jokes and stuff.
I hope this helped you Shine ^-^

for me im fine with OC im a active writer/reader of fanfiction on fanfiction.net and on other sites so it really depends on what genre you are doing if it is drama/romance try to keep the OC to a minimum if it is action/adeventure id say only like 4-5 OC if its humor GO WILD!
