Most of the earlier chapters in this book do not fit my current beliefs. The revised versions fit better, though that's not to say that the first versions are bad. Just a little warning!
I think this is pretty self explanatory.
This is all about the...
I bet y'all clicked on this thinking "hey, Blackbird's going to be ranting about how terrible shipping oc's with canon characters is !"
Nope.
I actually support shipping oc's with canon characters, which is an unpopular opinion, I know. But I believe the reason it's considered so terribly is simply because of the bad writing of the ships.
The first thing is, everyone ships their oc with Scourge. Everyone. If not, some sort of protagonist or "desirable" character. Jfc I hate this. This is the reason why all us oc+canon shippers look bad. Because this is really fucking pathetic. No one wants to read more "Scourge's Mate" fanfics. Please no.
If you do this, I swear, you'll look like one of those "XDDD Scourge-bae!!!" Eleven year olds.
I mean, you get Lionblaze ones, the Brokenstar ones, the Hawkfrost ones... Can y'all just stop?
And they're all straight female Mary-Sues. Let's just. Too many blue-eyed silver tabbies with heart-eyes Scourge mooning around after them.
The relationships are never developed ?? Like it's always: "Oh Moonsong, you're the prettiest thing in the entire forest. I, Scourge, will love you forever! Let's have kits now!"
Make it interesting. Maybe your oc falls in love with the canon character, who doesn't love them back yet. Maybe they're already together ? Just spice it up a little !! Make it interesting !
Make a plot ! Perhaps it isn't centered around the romance. Perhaps it is. Either is fine as long as it's done right, not just Scourge + Moonsong taking over the forest Clans and having a shitton of kits.
A short chapter this time, but there isn't really that much to say. Just please please please don't write a shitty oc+canon character shipfic because I'll hunt you down and eat you.
BlackbirdNight (Blackbirdflight + Nightstar) is a great ship but unfortunately the concept isn't widely accepted because of what so many have fucked up. So p l e a s e pull it off correctly because the concept of oc+canon ships are redeemable !!
And here's my Sophie again:
