It's just that I've never plotted out an OC and I just can't see myself doing so for a fanfic. Perhaps for an RPG, in which case I would talk to other players with 'is this all right?' None of my OC's have ever been anything great - just enough to help a plot along.
Case in point: my chain-smoking doctor with the wilted houseplants, who does have a life outside the story that's shown a few times, but in the context of the story, only provides a less clinical view of a hospital (it's an AU LOST fic) and a view of how badly injured a character is.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
