@GalacticGal Ahhhh, ok, thanks :)
You're very welcome. I confess when I first started writing fan fiction I had to ask what O/C meant, too. ;)
OC isn't exclusive to fan fiction! They can be created outside fandoms too; it just means "Original Character". A character you have made up yourself, given a personality, backstory, likes, dislikes, behavior, anything that would flesh them out as a person.
Fanfic-specific characters are often called "fan characters" instead. They can be just as fleshed out, they're just tied to an existing property.
