*evil Cackle* I am an Enabler
It's honestly kinda cheesy, but SI-OC have always been and will always be my fave type of fanfics. Like don't get me wrong I love other styles of fics as well, but the SI-OC tends to really capture the world and the characters in a way that exemplifies a reader's viewpoint. You kinda feel like you're reading the story/show/etc all over again with a new perspective.
Your OC's are all so interesting and nuanced, even with their similar circumstances they don't feel like copies of each other. It doesn't feel like a re-telling of the same story with a couple new characters, their actions have consequences that make sense and it's just *amazing*. The side character have their motivations and their lives don't revolve around the OC. Not to mention the OC isn't shoehorned into every plot point, the ones they're in feel natural and twists always have great foreshadowing and buildup.
Your consistent quality and the way you take cliche tropes and make them wholly your own just keeps me coming back for more.
btw: yea I am the person who read every one of your fics despite not knowing half the fandoms they're in. NGL P&A is the reason I started watching Naruto and by extension anime as a whole.
I feel the exact same way about SI-OCs!!!!!!!!!!! It was always about the outsider’s viewpoint of the characters and exploring another perspective of canon and plot.
And tysm, I know that SI-OC can be considered as cringe but I genuinely wanted to insert enjoyable but relatable characters in my viewpoint that readers would feel like they’d get along with and support. It’s why I also like ORV so much bc I feel like kdj represents us readers for whatever story/fiction/world we read and love.
again, thanks anon for reading. It really means a lot to me, so I try my best to write bc it’s fun for me and it makes me happy that ppl like you read it too. I love good cliches, so thank you for that and also, wow thank you for reading even though you didn’t know the fandoms…. that seriously makes my heart cry.
