I can't really think up much more new characters and I was thinking about making different short stories with my OC Spark in kindove an adventure with another person's OC.  Is it okay to use the same OC over again like this?

It depends on how interesting if a character your OC is.

The great thing about fanfiction is that it can be whatever you damn well please, as long as you have the skill to pull it off.

 

If you want to write a mini-series featuring the same OC, go for it!

The thing between me and short stories. I always end up rushing it a bit.

Use the same OC over and over again? I don't see why not. It gives you a chance to smoothen out aspects, as well as go deeper and more detailed into his personality *coughOrbitcough*.

 

And Zoombie, in my opinion, it's never how interesting an OC is or can be, it's how it reacts to the world around it that counts.

I have 3 OCs for 3 reasons.

1 unicorn, for rp and fanfiction

1 earth pony, for rp

and one regular alicorn OC (and yes theres a reason its an alicorn) for fanfiction and general pony stuff.

Id say 3 OCs is a good number, so you can keep things original and express your intrests in 3 ways.

Well, its good to switch characters, but it's not needed! I mean, characters ARE the story though, new characters enter new possibilities and it makes your crowd wonder what he/she will do. You can have a character that is bad, but makes your audience feel sad for him, or a good guy, who is just a bit too cocky. Characters are like soup, all sorts of different spices put into one big pot, all adding their own zest and peice! Sometimes making the same soup over and over again will make you master it, and it will be great, but sometimes you have to change it up.

I don't see a problem with it, but like Swim said, you have to change it up.
