fanfics are garbage

<Forricide> You're free to characterize however you want, but I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you
<Nick> Or make an OC who takes the spotlight instead of Greg
<Forricide> Or just change Greg to fit what you want, would get more readers
<Forricide> People don't like OCs quite as much, but even if he vaguely fits what people think of Greg as, it would work fine
<Dawnk41> That's pretty much what I did in the original version
<Dawnk41> Tried writing an OC fic once. Problem is, not even I had any emotional attachment to the characters. It died pretty fast.
<Forricide> hah, yeah, that would be a bit of an issue
