2000 January 24, Lord Archive [username], “Re: Ranma Fanfiction Cliches (draft)”, in alt.fan.r-takahashi‎^[1] (Usenet):
A post-38 Ranma calling Akane's food toxic waste is OOC as he never uttered anything like that for at least the last 13 volumes, made a challenge to eat it- but not horribly insult it.
2000 February 8, Axel Terizaki, “[EVA][FanFic] The Child Of Love - Fifth Month (Final Revision)”, in rec.arts.anime.fandom‎^[2] (Usenet):
Some people (some OTHER people) told me Asuka was too OOC in this part...that's right. But it's a fanfic, isn't it? I want to conclusively prove that Asuka, perhaps deep in her mind, is one of the nicest girls in the world.
2000 February 25, azirok [username], “Re: [Ranma][FanFic] Kuno Finds Out?”, in rec.arts.anime.fandom‎^[3] (Usenet):
Even then, some of the characters were pretty OOC (though I suppose that could be explained by the "magical effect" of the onions).
2001 January 15, Talen [username], “Re: Funimation to aquire Yu Yu Hakusho....”, in alt.fan.dragonball‎^[4] (Usenet):
It'd be OOC if Vejita^[sic] weeped upon seeing Goku die at the hands of a big cricket thing. Because he saw it in the series and it didn't really bug him.
2002 April 28, Allie, “[Ranma/GundamWing][FanFic] Ranko's Gundam, chapters 4-6”, in rec.arts.anime.creative‎^[5] (Usenet):
If the characters are a bit OOC then please forgive me!
2002 June 26, PriestesMiaka [username], “Re: Best Crossover fanfics?”, in alt.fan.harry-potter‎^[6] (Usenet):
A lot of them seem to either almost completely remove Harry and co. from the fic and have the new characters doing all the wonderful things that Harry was supposed to do, or they have the characters acting completely OOC.
2002 September 12, Tom, “Re: Does anyone here hate fanfic? SPOILERS FOR PoU!!!”, in alt.fan.harry-potter‎^[7] (Usenet):
But other then that - Harry is way OOC, the H/Hr relationship is way too unrealistic, Harry in the end becomes way *too* powerful and so on and so forth...
2005 October 29, simdave2000 [username], “Re: GoF - Dumbledore Angry??”, in alt.fan.harry-potter‎^[8] (Usenet):
There also seems to be a lot of OOC shouting from Dumbledore...most of which is quite unnecessary, IMO.
