Depends on the OCs. What they're doing, and how they're doing it. You get some fics that are pretty much entirely descendants of canons, but the characters, while OCs, are well characterised, and their actions fit canon - there, we have no kill. Then we have fics where we recognise no names, it's all descendants, but they're all horribly WRONG, and they don't fit canon, and they warp the ideals, the standards and the laws of the canon. Then, even though they're all OCs, we can still kill. It's the spirit of the canon we have to maintain, after all.

In that case, I'd say it would depend on a few factors.
Is it in the canon world? -Big deciding factor~.
If it is, does it warp the canon world? Just having it be a mediocre fic with WTF characters in the canon who happen to be related to canons might not be enough.
Does it contradict anything canon? - This is the important thingy, PPC wise I believe. (Boring story is one thing, boring characters another, but when they start breaking things...!~)
Are the OCs plausible as descendants of the characters they're supposed to be related to? - As in for example, no, OC may not be the grandchild of Captain Jack Sparrow via the good captain's MPreg baby. (Captain Jack of Torchwood however is plausibly allowed an MPreg baby since Torchwood canon seems to have an anything goes policy when it comes to sex.)
In short, it's a big question of is this a bad fanfic, or is this a bad original story?
In other words, is the fic actually plac

I'm of the opinion that if they're using a Canon world and claiming to be descendants of a canon character, especially if said character either has no descendants or they're already accounted for, then it's still killable.
I'd either kill if they were Sueishly bad, or recruit. I did so in my second mission when a Sue created two new kids for Aragorn and Arwen so that she could play babysitter. I offed the Sue and recruited the kids, both of which are now happily in the PPC Nursery. (See http://cassie5squared.livejournal.com/13973.html#cutid1 for details)
