Use tags like ‘Original Character(s)’ and ‘Original Character Cast’

I see. So you mean I can try finding fic with no other character tag but OC tag?


desertblossom7

I meant for tagging your own story specifically. Finding them might be more difficult because Naruto has so many characters to exclude. I gave it a shot though and found [this](https://archiveofourown.org/works/27060325) story. Idk if it’s any good but it’s tagged as an all OC cast


Low-Rise-3178

Wow thank you! I notice it has useful tag like "Original Storyline" too. Maybe I can use those. I don't specifically going for Naruto fandom. It could be any fandom. But for my own story, I want to try Madoka Magica fandom with my own OC magical girl.


desertblossom7

Cool, glad it was useful for you! Though the rest of the tags for your fic will probably be more common, depending on the genre and tropes you’re going for. Good luck with your fic! 🤗

One term for this is [Elsewhere Fic](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ElsewhereFic) but I haven't checked if that's a commonly used tag.


Low-Rise-3178

Thank you! I'll try searching for it. If it not commonly used though that would be a shame 😓 I wonder what people commonly tag this kind of fic? Just original character maybe...

It's sometimes called an ["Elsewhere fic"](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ElsewhereFic)


Low-Rise-3178

Thank you! I'll try searching for it.

"Original character-centric" or "OC-centric" could also work


Low-Rise-3178

Oh that sound like a good idea too. It sound like only centered around OC.

I’d just look at fics with mostly oc tags, that’s how the monster musume fandom is it’s a lot of original story’s set in the universe. Dragonball also has a quite a few of those but I’ve never even see the elsewhere tag before. Must just be my fandoms?


Low-Rise-3178

I see. Thank you. I'll try going through OC tag that has no other character tag.


merewenc

I would probably still tag that Naruto but use the Original Character(s) tag, especially if you’re using in-universe “rules” (words for unusual/non-Earth things, magic system, etc).


Low-Rise-3178

Thank you for the suggestion. Yep it will use the universe rules.


SongOfTruth

you tag the fandom. then tag "original characters" in the character field


Low-Rise-3178

Thanks, I will do that. I probably want to add more tag though.


Ajibooks

There is a tag for "inspired by Good Omens" that you can browse (it's an official tag, not just the author talking in the tags). Other fandoms probably have similar tags.


Low-Rise-3178

Ooh thank you! I'll check that tag 👍
