People hate OC's just out right. It doesn't matter. It never mattered.

How to make a not-shit OC pony:
Don't be an asshole or attention whore.
Know how color works.
Know how character building works.

Most importantly.

DON'T ship them with the Mane 6. They belong to everyone.

The problem I have is the color palate and the name. I came up with what I thought was cool, but it turned out to be a fat male unicorn version of Daring Doo. I know that in the show they sometimes repeat color schemes, but an OC should try to avoid that.

I'm okay if they ship their OC's with any of the cast as long as it's not a self insert, and there's a really good story behind it, and it's not completely forced and doesn't break the characterization... you know what? Forget it.

Pick non-existing colors. Good luck with that one.
Or draw a circle. Imagine how cool a circle would be among ponies! Use natural colors. Make a mottled coat pattern. Rasta mane. Ancient symbol for cutie mark.
^Not all of them on one pony.
Whatever you do, you will realize that your oc has been made. A bit later you will realize that it still sucks.
So far I've seen only three (or so) good OC's. Surprisingly they have personality too.

The reason why so many OC stories suck is that if you're a writer and want to write a story you actually don't need any additional characters. Especially on a show like FIM where a lot of characters can be interpreted in many ways. So a lot of people think that adding an OC will cover up their bad writing skills, which it doesn't.

And then there are of course the whole Mary Sue/Self insersts etc.

I have the most problem choosing a cutie mark. I pick a kite for my first one, and he was a unicorn, so I made him as a the guy who makes/holds sky diving/parachuting/kite flying competitions and events. He would build small contraptions to help flightless ponies glide to even fly around a little bit so they can see what it's like. Didn't turn out so well.

>Choose non-clashing, non-neon colors.
>Don't make the coat black.
>Don't be an alicorn or changelings.
>Don't be a "badass."
>Keep both eyes the same color
>Avoid sob-story backgrounds.
>Keep their abilities at a normal level.
>Don't ship them with the mane six, or major background ponies.
>Just have them, don't shove them into everything you do.

Congratulations, you just made a normal, not terrible OC.

This is how to make a good OC, that was actually shipped with a mane caster member... Well. That's how to OC.

^ I agree. Ficksitup is one of my favorite OCs and that's one of my favorite Applejack fics. I just wish it didn't update so slowly,

Step one: Ignore anyone who will always hate all OC.
Step two: Learn the difference between OC, random ponies and background ponies.
