In fanfiction, OOC means that a character in the story is acting not like they usually would - out of character. For example, if Severus Snape suddenly hates Draco Malfoy and loves Harry like a son, he is completely and utterly OOC. [ sparklythingy's advice column | Ask sparklythingy A Question ]
HyperactiveMiss answered Tuesday August 31 2004, 2:45 am: Usually on fanfiction and role plays it means Out of Character.
If you wanted to pretend to be your favorite character in a movie (role playing), you would want to act just like the real character. You know, do what they would do if you were them. That's In Character.
If you're not acting exactly like they would, but you are still pretending to be the character, that would be out of character. Hopefully you got that...I'm bad at explaining sometimes, lol.
However, I'm not sure what it means, the way you're using it. So and So can't belong to an OOC (Out of Character)...lol. Maybe YOU're interpreting how people use "OCC" wrong. If you're not, I'm stumped. lol. [ HyperactiveMiss's advice column | Ask HyperactiveMiss A Question ]
