I had a chat with another author in the broader Star Trek fandom after reading their OC/OC fic & based on how that got received, I'm not getting my hopes up. I'll still write it though (& probably post it regardless). And it will have some canon characters as secondary characters (& it'll be set on the Enterprise) so it won't be completely unknown to fans.
Love that your 99% OC story got so big! ๐ There's hope for OC-centric stories yet. Pity about the unfriendly community atmosphere though - like, you don't like the premise, don't read it. No need to give grief to the authors about it. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Glad you have those in your fandom you can refer to. It gives me better comfort when dealing with unreasonable readers. Sadly "don't like, don't read" has been a lost art for awhile. I hope one day it will become trendy again.
Sometimes fandoms that used to be unfriendly to OCs will turn around because a couple of fanfic managed to become super popular. The English fandom of Naruto has a few well documented cases of this.
