god isn't this a question. well when i get really into a media that is ripe for ocs i typically stay with it for a few months. and all of my ocs are part of me in some way. sometimes i write about them and sometimes i make little heroforges and sometimes i blog about them and sometimes i just tell all my friends and they live inside me forever. i keep track of them much better now than i used to because now i know things better, i know how to make characters, how to put the unlovable pieces of myself into them and find a way to love them. when i was a kid all of my ocs were about who i wanted to be and now that i'm older and finding myself that still holds true, but they're also about everyone i've been and who i've become now. idk. this wasn't what u asked.
