Here's a second question, and I hope asking it isn't annoying for the reason of pushing the original character boundaries you have wisely set. Only canonical female characters as protagonists (thank goodness for no Sues), and I'd like to ask about the OC status of female videogame player-made characters. For example, in games like this older one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldur's_Gate), it is canon that the player character participated in certain events, but the player designs the character themselves including gender. I have a feeling the answer is probably 'yes', but would stories centering on female player-made characters of games like this be barred for being too close to OFCs? (There would also be canonically female-identified non-player-characters for femgenficathon writers to use as protagonists.)
