OC Help!

So here I am talking about OC flaws, but how in the world am I supposed to make one of my own?


Huzzah, a common question. Which can be easily answered! Let's go through the steps of making an OC, you don't have to follow these steps. They're more like guidelines

Step One: Making your OC

A. What kind of character?

~A good place to start would probably what you want your OC based off. A fandom maybe? Or do you want a completely original OC. The choice is yours! 

B. Your OC look 

~While making your OC you should go to the basics. Such as ethnicity, eye color, general height. Body type, hair length, hair texture. All the nitty gritty details 

C. Naming

~I honestly already have a post about this section

D. Clean Up

~OC's are hard to make, especially the first one you do. So it's never a bad idea to get yours checked up by someone else. Online or off, it's better to be safe than sorry :)

Step Two: Introducing that OC

An OC can be introduced in many ways, fanfics...original stories....and roleplaying (there are probably many more)
There are many fabulous websites to go on to which will be there to let you publish your work:

  • Fanfiction.net: This is primarily if your story is a fanfiction if it isn't Fiction.net works as well
  • Wattpad: Not a favourite, due to the majority of the public to be 13-14 with One Direction fics. But it is a very popular site, so your story will most likely be noticed 
  • Quotev: Another really cool writing site. It's pretty nice, and alot of excellent works are posted here
  • Storybird: Another excellent website, the only downside is awaiting moderation. But asides from that, nice!

These are only a couple of the sites I know, so there are more and more

Step Two (.5): Finalizing 

That's it for an OC, or at least what I do. If you're confused or lost in this process, you are welcome to follow. 

~Goodbye!
