I'm confused and concerned (While techniquically still not here)

I'm sapposed to be working on things but came by anyway. And I saw something that makes me wonder (plus the slightly concerned). The Ed Rant about OCs (on the fanart main page). My concern comes in two fold-

1. Do people really hate Original Characters that much? Or is it just that people hate where they are most commonly placed. (This is a concern because almost all of my pictures are OC.)

2. People commenting on the rant have brought up two things; Seperating OCs from the show they are based on and a dislike of pairing with actually show characters. (I do the second often.)

My current policy for when I submit fanart- Is to submit it in orginal unless a actually show character is in it. When the OC is by themselves or with another oc than I submit it under original add use the tags to show that it is related.

But OC are a large part of different fanart sites. So I don't think banning them would be good. (Somebody ranted about that idea.) But do you think there should be a seperate section for pictures with OCs? ie: have the original show and the original show+ OC, to add to that the catergory of characters inspired by or in connection with a show.

Thanks for reading and your opinion matters!
