What is an OC?
It is an acronym that stands for “Original Character.” But what does that actually mean?
In the context of a site dedicated to fanfiction, an audience of readers and writers of fanfiction, it is any character that doesn’t show up in canon. In the context of MLP:FiM, this excludes the main and supporting characters of the show, and by most people’s reckoning, it excludes background ponies as well.
