Most have a tendency to be huge Mary Sue's or Gary Stu's, but every now and then somebody actually does a decent job of writing a story from an outside perspective. ...Sadly, I have yet to encounter that style in this fandom, though SAO in particular has a few good OC stories. I might try posting up something myself, soon. =P

My support of good OCs is not indicative of wanting to see OCs shipped with MCs at all; if you're going to make an OC and want them to have a love interest, please make an OC for that. ^.^ We don't need a wolf Faunus with black hair and gold eyes romancing everyone with his model-copy of Squall's gunblade. I actually don't prefer to read an OC story in RWBY. I go to the RWBY Fanfiction Archive to read stories with the characters of RWBY, not someone's OC. If you can make a good OC story, that's great, but in general, OC's on RWBY fandom stuff go something like this:

Ah yes, Garnet Rose, the forgotten brother of Ruby Rose. How frickin original. You deserve a Nobel Prize in literature for that, in addition to royalties and a knighthood.

Johnny Smith The Half-Grimm, yes, you are also original. Because there was totally not a story Adam The Half-Grimm, confused with Adam Taurus.

Ooh, look, Robert Manoka, who's all alone on a snowy day in a forest and somehow mauls armies of grimm by himself, lookie loo, another guy who prances around with his blatantly obvious copy of Crescent Rose. Very original.

"Ah yes, pls read ma story it's good rlly no h8ters allowed, the theory that the next harem master will prove better than the last one, we have dismissed that claim."
