In a world of fanart, you're bound to run into fancharacters. Fancharacters are characters that are made for a certain series' cannon. Some people can't find any decent fancharacters, so they just end up hating them in general.

It's a shame for the diamonds in the rough to be ignored like that! Most of these great fancharacters are overshadowed by "recolors" and "Mary Sues". Re-colors are very easy to define, they often look very similar to a pre-existing charcter, exept for some minor changes and a new color scheme. This is a very good example of some characters out there:

Sadly, even though this is a joke character, I've seen so many people take their characters seriously like that. It's repulsive and awful that so many people have bad ideas like this. These bad ideas often over-shadow the decent to amazing fancharacters. If you have any fancharacters that you think have potential, please note me, *

ill be a sly cooper fan till the end when carmileta gets me LoL ^.^
Thanks!
It is a shame, but I kinda don't mind recolors anymore (I don't mean recolored sprites 'cuz that's art theft
Take Aaron for example:
Old:[link]
New:[link]
He started pretty much exactly like Sonic (Though he was never a recolor). I gave him some vague personality traits. Like: "He likes girls and he's a hero and... he um likes girls?"
Now that I look back on it, I would have made him another species. I did improve a bit on him though, but only after learning about character development.
Of course people have to know that they can't get away with drawing recolors forever, but I think they'll learn how to make them look more unique eventually
I'm more upset about people with "unrealistic" characters. Aaron is good, because he's god a
"realistic" bio / personailty, while most recolors have the "ALL CHARACTERS LOVE ME, AND ALL MY FAMILY IS DEAD. I SHOULD BE AN EMO BUT I STILL AVE TONS OF FRIENDS AND I CAN BEAT SHADOW IS A CHAOS RACE." Personality.
