*winces* so many of those apply to me... it's almost pathetic...
- when you hand in an entry to a short story contest (original fics only) has your SW OC's creeping in...
- when your brother sets you straight about an OC... cause after all he did name her.
- when the backs of recipes are covered in scribbles that eventually will be that next post you just have to make...
- when you have baby name sites bookmarked... not cause you're pregnant but because of the unlikely case of not being able to come up with a decent OC name...
- you know what an OC is

H/C? I'm going to assume that's a Han/Chewie fic of a non-romantic nature. I'm sure that's it cuz I've never read a Hobbie/Callista fic.

When at 9PM you say to yourself "I'll do my homework after this post.
When at 3AM on the same night you find yourself telling your parent "I'll go to bed after this paragraph!".

"When you know what an oc is."
Or when you come back from 19 months of no media contact and think "OC? Oh, they have a show about...Original Characters? I don't get it."

... when you know how to get rid of the little red lines.
... when you spend breaks while writing academic papers writing fanfiction.

I'm too ashamed to use a mini-tape recorder because I just know I'll start making all the voices...

I'm guilty of so many of these that its not even funny- its hilarious!!! [face_laughs]
... Your english teacher has to tell you to stop writing stories, although gramatically correct stories (riight), during her class...
...you meet someone with the same name as your OC and start comparing them...

... Your math class hates you because you repeatedly get caught writing fanfic in class by the teacher and then there's consequences for the entire class. But the good thing is that the teacher oonly catches your 1 time out of 5.

Oh my gosh...so guilty of these two, although luckily I've never been caught writing my grammatically correct stories in english.
And I not only compare people with the same names as my OCs, I compare random people sharing the smallest characteristic with my OCs. And there have been several occasions where I've come very close to answering to a male OC's name. That's always interesting.
