Okay, so what about crossover fics then? Or if it is an Alternate Universe, then why should writers still be forced to keep the plot OC-only? Plus, any character who doesn't go through Pending is going to receive significantly much less attention than an OC who does undergo the process, so it's already a sacrifice that is being made.

I understand the whole "respect canon" thing, but I think it's only necessary for roleplaying so no OC is masquerading as a God or the like. Other than that, and unless you can bring up an example that is especially offensive to the original creators of that character, I think it should be permitted even if some people don't particularly like them being used in this way. If this rule applied to the internet as a whole, then every single fanfiction out there wouldn't exist right now regardless of how high quality some of them may be.

I personally don't like seeing excessive fanon-canon interaction, but I don't think my opinion should be used to dictate what someone else can or can't do.
