OMG LIEK WHAT?
OOC or mostly known on the writing fandom as Out-of-Character is used when a character is described differently from the original character in a series. There are a few distinctive traits wherein a character is known for and that is where his person is fully realized and developed. However, when certain authors put those original characters in an AU or Alternate Universe plot, the characteristic or quality of the person changes and ruins the whole essence and personality of the character in the series.

In my experience, I have altered a few characteristics of a character in a series or show and ended up with a whole new person in which the only similarities the characters have are their names and physique. Most of the time, fellow authors bash and flame the story where the OOC is in because it doesn't follow the way the character should act and how he or she should be. It shows disrespect for the work of the original creator. Albeit, mostly, authors of the story warn the readers beforehand of the different qualities of the character, they are still not accepted because of the bad plot and horrible use of the English language. In my opinion, though, online authors should have the freedom to express themselves through writing.



Writing, whether the characters are altered, is still considered as art and the process of creativity.


Write in blank parchment,
Thirst parched in ink,
Characters dull in attachment,
Fingers move out of rhythm,
Thoughts become weak.
~Writer's Block, by me.
