Q: Can I choose more than one category for my story?

A: Absolutely! When you are writing your post, highlight your main category and save it. To select additional categories, hold the control (Ctrl) key and click on the additional categories you would like to post your story under. “Original Characters” is the default category and all posts will be displayed on this page.

Q: I’m interested in writing an adult story, is this acceptable to publish?

A: Yes! OC Fancy welcomes stories for all age groups and genres. Erotica is acceptable, however blatant human pornographic images are strictly forbidden and will result in a permanent ban for any users posting or reposting the media. Digital and hand drawn character images with sexual connotations may be posted so long as they do not feature under age characters.

Users interested in posting erotic stories or media are requested to add a “NSFW” (not safe for work) label to their posts. OCF also allows user to mark their posts as “sensitive”, which will blur the post until the viewing user agrees to see the potentially sensitive content. This feature should be utilized for this type of content and may be added to user posts by our site admin if necessary.

Q: How is my account protected?

A: OCFancy.com uses a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection to encrypt data between your web browser and our website. Rest assured that any data (including passwords) sent to our website from you is secure.

Q: Can I un-publish my story if I am still working?

A: Of course! Just sign in, go to your story, and change the status to “draft.” You can edit and re-publish it whenever need to!

Q: What if my stories have different chapters?

A: If you want your fans to easily keep track of different chapters in your story, add a link at the bottom to take them to your next post. Users can also view all stories unique to you by clicking on the name you choose to have publicly displayed. This will take them to your profile.

Q: Can I message other users to ask about their stories?

A: Yes! Our platform utilizes reliable third-party software to allow users to chat and communicate within our community. On top of the ability to follow community users and gather followers of your own, members can friend other artists and writers. Note that users can only chat among friends.

Q: What are Groups?

A: Groups are a great way to find friends and meet new people that share your passion. If you are part of a group, you can collaborate on stories together, work on group stories, or just learn more about the world of character creation. The different types of groups include public (open to anyone), private (anyone can request membership), or hidden (join by invite only). If you don’t find a group that interests you, create your own and invite your friends. Note: group creators can only invite their friends.

Q: Is AI-Generated Art Allowed?

A: Yes, currently AI (Artificial Intelligence) generated art is allowed on our platform. Although we acknowledge the role of AI in expanding the boundaries of creativity, we also advocate for its ethical and respected use. AI should be a tool for enhancing human creativity, not replacing it. We encourage artists exploring AI-generated art to do so with a sense of respect for the broader community. Currently, we do not have a “tagging” system in place to distinguish between original drawings and those that are computer generated, but we ask users to be honest when posed with the question by fellow users, followers, or friends.

Q: What if I experience any other problems?

A: If you experience any other problems, feel free to contact us through the help section of the site. Anything unique to your profile, stories, characters can be answered here. We are also very open to recommendations to improve our site. If you know of any glitches, bugs, or anything that may deliver a bad user experience, contact us immediately so we can do what we can to resolve it.
