Never be scared of sharing information about your OC, even if no one asked for it.
Write about them, draw their story and tell about them!
It’s the best way for people to get to know your OC.
It doesn’t matter how many Notes and messages you get.
Your OC is valid, regardless if people care or not! Because you love them, and that what should really matter.
People need time to get to know a OC. Time and information.
Some are too scared to ask you about them or to share information about their own OC, because the opinion of others scare them.
If you see a OC you like etc, TELL THEIR CREATOR! Because it means so much to them to see that their OC is seen by someone else.
The Anon feature in the asks are there for those who doesn’t want to reveal themselves. Anons are people too, so it’s valid.
All in all, popularity, other people’s opinions and age NEVER matters when it comes to your wonderful OCs.
Don’t wait for a Note to give you permission to share information.
If you want to give a little sunshine in the fandom, ask someone else about THEIR OC. Tell them how much you like their OCs.
Spread some joy to others~
Spread the love for OCs. Because what really makes a loyal fandom person is to give, because one or another time you will recieve too.
Give & Recieve. That’s what I like to quote to myself often.
Bonus Note:
Don’t hate on the more popular people out there with OCs who gets showered in notes on a daily basis. They’re people too.
Some of them may even be tired of the fame.
In my opinion, and viewpoint, I never look at the amount of artworks, fanfics etc of a OC, I like them for them. And I make sure to tell their Creators that. Even with my awkward words. Because, despite little old me telling them that, it might brighten their day!
Fame and popularity can be tiring. So, don’t hate on them for their popularity just because you’re jealous.
Popularity takes time and effort, but in the end, it doesn’t really matter.
I have to admit to being rather terrified to talk about my characters anymore. I always expect someone to pop out of the woodwork to be hypercritical. I should be more brave. 🙂
