What do I do for a mission where everyone is an OC? by Silenthunder on 2015-08-24 14:22:00 UTC Reply

I'm thinking of one of my own badfics for when I was younger. There were no canon characters.

That depends, I reckon. by Desdendelle on 2015-08-24 14:50:00 UTC Reply

How much canon is involved? Which canon? It's hard to tell without any details.

The story takes place in the Warriors series. None of the characters are canon, but the Clans are still there (forest territories, I think), as are the Clan traditions and customs and lingo and daily life and the belief in StarClan (and the Dark Forest, for those who know of it). I did my best to stick with canon for those, except for the main character who has a Suish name and a "mysterious" birthmark.

... you're doing the mission on other grounds than canon-breaks, then? You've ruled out Geographical Aberrations, (sort of), but there's still Technical Errors, Bad Slash (between two OCs is still bad), Angst, Bad Parody... oh, and I guess those guys in the Mary-Sue Department, since it's possible to act Suvian towards OCs as well.

The mission would basically run as normal: stalk the characters, make the charges, fix the problem. Non-bad characters could be merged into canon, or potentially recruited; the Flowers would like that, I suppose.

I can't tell without seeing the story and even then I'm not sure I'd be able to (Warriors is not one of my fandoms), but that premise does not look un-sporkable. The devil, as they say, is in the details, though.

When the Sue is slain, do the agents need to take care of everyone else? Since everyone else is an OC?

Depends. by DawnFire on 2015-08-24 22:04:00 UTC Reply

How Sueish are they? How bit-character/generic are they? Can they be left to assimilate into canon, or are they too Sueish to manage it? That's the sort of question you want to be asking now. Bit characters and generics can probably just assimilate, maybe--they might become wild cats, though, since the clans are just about all named. Unless it's set earlier or later than the books, in which case let them assimilate if possible.

I always wanna ask chat, "HOW DO I USE CHAT?" but I don't know how to use chat so I can't.
