Some if can excuse if they came first, but anyone's after are made people who didn't look at the canon hard enough. Honestly, I wish people would be a little more creative with OCs. They should look at the canon characters and think of what fairy tales aren't represented. I deliberately picked mainly ultra-obscure, forgotten fairy tales for my OCs for that reason. However, a popular fairy tale like Beauty and the Beast or The Little Mermaid has more widespread appeal than an obscure story like Princess Mayblossom or Alphege, or the Green Monkey, so I can understand preferring to choose a popular story not done by EAH instead of a story that they would most likely never do.

As for what Emma said, I feel like people shouldn't copy other people's OCs. I don't care if other people make OCs for the same stories that I used. I think that people should try to differentiate them between other people's OCs for the same stories.

I wish that more people would do OCs for supporting characters instead of just the main characters. I have OCs for various side characters, such as Ulrich (son of Conrad from The Goose Girl), Melissa (daughter of Princess Linda from The Bee and the Orange Tree), Bernard (son of Florida from Belle-Belle), and Theron (son of Alphege's half-brother from Alphege, or the Green Monkey). In the last one's case, I've given him more attention than his cousin, who is the daughter of Alphege himself. I've seen others for other stories too.
