Is there REALLY anything wrong with OC's being shipped with characters of RWBY. Cause let me tell you, I've read A LOT of fanfiction. Hell, I spend most of my time on the internet reading fanfiction.

There are plenty of good fanfics that involve shipping an OC with a character of RWBY. Entertaining really. Hell, when it comes to pairing an OC with a RWBY character, I tend to favor stories that ship an OC with Ruby because...well, she's my favorite character. Plus, it's fun to see (read) her fall for someone and vise versa. Hell, I'm not ashamed to admit that I myself am writing a story with an OC/Ruby pairing.

Besides, Weiss has Neptune, Blake has Sun, Pyrrha has Jaune, Nora has Ren, and Yang...well, she can pretty much have any guy she wants. And then there's Ruby...I can't help but be interested in just WHO could possibly capture the adorable little reaper's heart (who, for the record, may not even be interested in boys yet).

Anyway, my point is there's nothing wrong with the pairing with an OC and a character of RWBY. There have been so many stories that do that, most of which are REALLY good and fun to read. I can't honestly see how it's a problem...or how people have a problem with OC's in general. It's FANFICTION. As in the FANS. They can do whatever they want. Plus, OC's are a given when it comes to FanFiction. Even it they aren't the main character, you're bound to have OC's somewhere. Plus, when the canon bad guys are defeated in a fanfic, who's left? You'd have to create a new villain, an OC. Sure you can come up with a convoluted way for the canon bad guys to escape prison so that they bother the main heroes, but some times it eventually gets boring.

You need to spice things up a bit. That's where OC's come in, whether they're good guys or bad. And if that OC is shipped with a canon character...well then that's the choice of the writer.

That's one of the many things that RWBY (and Monty Oum) has inspired: originality.
