This article explains some of the most common abbreviations used. If there are any you don't know and that are not listed, let us know! We'll be happy to explain them to you.

Thank you I didn't see that when I looked threw the help.It helped with most of what I needed.

"OC" means "Original Character." This tends to refer to a character that someone has invented entirely on their own, as opposed to a "canon" character belonging to another author. An example of a non Original Character might be Ash from Pokemon or Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.

I don't see OCC commonly used, but my guess is that this means "Original Canon Character." This would be a character that IS original, but the universe it exists in is NOT original. This would be like inventing a new pokemon trainer -- you invented the character, but not the universe it exists in.

Hope this helps!

It did help and thanks for the help.

You're welcome! I will update the help file to include OC, you're right that that's something that people might want to know.

thank god white wolf for posting this, if you didn't we'd both be confused
