Ugh.

This is unrelated to the page, but there are way too many DJ pony fan characters who are just like Vinyl Scratch, in both apperance and personality. (At least the fan given ones.)

Or ~awesome~ pegasi like Rainbow Dash.

Or shy ponies just like Fluttershy. The list goes on.

Stop giving your characters a relationship with the mane six. Stop giving your character rainbow hair and the same personalities as the mane six. It's just not that hard to come up with something. Like, airplane pony. A pony that's an airplane too. There. At least it's something, not "this pegasus is soooo coool she can outfly RD cause she's awesoms she does the Sonic Rainboom but better and she is a wonderbolt."

On the other hand, while I'm aware they can be sues and overpowered, I think the alicorn OC hate should stop. Believe or not, there can be creative alicorn ocs, or at least onces that don't have neon converse and rainbows all over. Sure, alicorns are supposed to be ~rare~ or something, but Cadence seems like a fairly normal gal. As long as you aren't creating a billion for the sole purpose of "having a super awesome pony princess who everyone loves", it can be done decently.
