   I have something to say on this recent debate about characters 
being
OOC in fanfics. More accurately, about the tone  which this debate is
taking.  
   I have noticed with increasing alarm that certain members of this 
list
are starting to take themselves too seriously. There is an significant
amount of "I'm right, you're wrong" getting thrown around lately. It 
seems
that the ML is being split into two camps: Those who think every fic
should be written IC and with strict accordance to the original 
creators
work and those who see fanfics as a way to "push the envelope," as it
were. I will come right out and say that I am in the second camp.

	Don't forget a third (though probably small) camp.  "Those who
write just for the fun of it and don't care if the characters are IC,
OOC, or even DOC(I don't know what this stands for, I just wrote for a
filler)."
