	I didn't know a lot of them, but that was partly because I was using a new OC, and also, for the birthday one, at least, the planet he's from has more days than Earth has, and I'm not quite obsessed enough with planet building to make a calender for it... That's a neat little questionare, though. -----signature----- The Ultimate poetry Challenge: http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=26190468&brd=10304&replies=6 Two Halves of the Same Whole: http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=27517831&brd=10476&replies=0 *For the 2nd drabble challenge

	DancesWithBlasters posted: In canon, I always want to change the characters to make them more they way I wish they had been I feel the same way; I don't like what the EU does with some of the canon characters, so I always end up changing them. I've found reciently that I really like writing OCs because I can make them up completely and not have to let them be a product of a history that someone else has written. I looked through the (very interesting) list. One of my older OCs who has been through several stories I know most of the info for, but usually when I'm writing a vignette or something with new OCs I don't go into nearly that much detail with them. -----signature----- I agree with RJ Officially Idri's Muse "Hat.

	I'm glad there are other people out there who agree with me on that. That's why I mostly write OCs, because I can make them the way I feel they ought to be. When thinking about canon, I always want them to make different decisions, or act in another way, so I'm afraid my characterization would be terrible. -----signature----- "I want freedom for the full expression of my personality." - M.

	I stopped caring if mine was terrible If I use canon characters, I always write AUs so that I can take more creative lisence -----signature----- I agree with RJ Officially Idri's Muse "Hat. We thought of authentic Native American headdress before we thought of hat."

	I know what you're talking about. There's a reason I never write anything that isn't OC based, or AU. Sometimes I want to explore what might have beens, but other times it's just because canon has me completely annoyed, and my OCs will work with me. Most of the time, anyway. -----signature----- "I want freedom for the full expression of my personality." - M.

Most of the time, anyway. That's exactly why I prefer OC writing over canon. I love me some canon every once in a while, but they don't always fit with what I want to do. _ Anyone else plan on contributing to January's OC Challenge?

I know, especially with all the YJK characters....they've changed way too much for my liking . 2.

	Well, to begin, I don't know what the challenge for the month is, and also, I don't think I really have the time at the moment. That coupled with the fact that I don't really like submiting my writing for competitive stuff, because next to everyone else it looks terrible, sort of take me out. Next time, maybe. -----signature----- "I want freedom for the full expression of my personality." - M.

	I like the list of insider things to know about your OC. For me the biggest test of how well do you know your OC is putting them into a completely mundane activity and being able to see how he/she would do it. Sadly the exercise was lost, but I had a page of one of my big bad OCs shaving in the morning. And as far as OC vs. Canon--think of all of the terrible things that George and some of the 'professional' EU folks have done to our favorite canon characters, they'll never be able to ruin your OC. OCs are far more versatile and easy to write for me. -----signature----- . . . . I'm so bad, I banned myself.
