[hider=The Simplest Answer you Will Find]Every interest check makes a statement. Exclusively seeking Canon x OC pairings makes your statement "I want you to pay attention to all of the detailed nuances and bits of history put into a character I've created, who will ostensibly be the main character. You can play whoever, I don't really care, any anime character will do." This makes people feel that because their writing is not given the same level of creative freedom, you will not give it the attention you are looking to receive for your own.[/hider]
