I said almost universally. I believe (but could be argued against) that most fanfic authors promote in-character fanfic--but a lot of them are *atrocious* judges of character.
On second thought, I think you're right. I think I could claim that "most" oppose OOC fic, but that's not the same as "almost all." And among that "most" are a great many authors who are trying, and failing badly, to write in-character stories.
I probably have a skewed perception because I don't spend much time at FF.net (or the places that are worse); their rules prevent the fanfic I'm most interested in reading. I have a large circle of friends who recommend *good* fanfic, so I tend to forget how much bad fanfic exists.
