I don't know Greg enough to dislike him, since I never read Worm, but for the same reason, as far as I'm concerned an OC is like an AU Greg that I don't need to worry whether I'm missing a piece of context or a reference.

Your Jordan's Are Fake

If its a AU aged up Greg, is it even Greg anymore? OC works better and doesnt come with any of the negative connotations Greg comes with in the fandom space when trying to attract new readers. Worm fandom is more likely to read a OC than want to read a Greg Vader Harem fic

I honestly don’t think I could get into a Greg centric story. Much easier to use an oc or even another guy like Theo.

There are many fanfiction with Greg Veder as the main character. Out of those, I can think of only three where I found the concept tolerable. All of them are abandoned and unfinished. I don't doubt you have the skill to make Greg into a tolerable and maybe even a good main character, however I would rather not risk it.

Can I instead vote for you alternating between an extra chapter of Somewhere to Belong and Hell of a Show, in lieu of starting a new fic?

As others have said I think you could do Greg but you’d probably have to make him so ooc that you’d essentially have to make him an oc anyway also you wouldn’t get to have void either being way off the mark or absolutely dead on.

Gotta say, I love the idea, though im curious how youre going to pull it off. Basically its a what do you mean by worst off characters? Are we talking characters that are in bad situations but could be redeemed like Sherrel/Skidmark? Characters that have just been screwed over by the system kinda like Taylor? Or characters that are horrible people that you want to use but can't figure out how like Fenja/Menja (i find Nazis hard to redeem, though it's not impossible)?

Talking characters like Sveta and Mouse Protector and Dragon and others who were dealt a bad hand and could use a helping hand. As well as characters who didn't get much coverage here in this fic

While that would be great, I don't think Cam would be open to killing a slot, let alone one for such a relatively popular fanfic/fandom.

I read that as Greg Vader lmao

Look I if we gotta go with anyone can we go with go with someone like Theo? He’s goated character who doesn’t actively piss me off by existing.

I agree with that, there is just enough info about Greg, that if you change anything it would be too out of place. Also I've seen too many authors use Greg as a base for their stories, it would be good to see something new

Corn The Man

I didn't notice till you said that. I still thought it was Vader and that why would anyone call someone that. Dyslexia strikes again

Devon

As long as the new characters a redhead I'm fine

Shadowfox

Ugh god not Greg

MasterKronus

Not likely going to like either option here.
