I would hope that I didn't imply OC=Sue here; I'm rather fond of OCs myself (see "Boxed In" and the recent Aya stories).

It may be that Toku fandom is too small to have this kind of worry, I agree. Spelling and grammar tend to be more of a problem than whether an OC's a sue/stu.

And... I should probably go back to my researching and not try to wax philosophical on a Friday night. :)
