I'm sure my vote doesn't count because I'm never active anymore, but really who cares? So what if it's "uncreative", it's not something that needs to be regulated. Using characters from other media can help one focus on the fundamentals of writing and get better at that before trying to dive into character development and whatnot. Trying to develop unique and original characters while you're new to writing is incredibly difficult, and using characters from other sources can help alleviate some if not all of the pressure of new writers to be as good as the more experienced writers. It's also incredibly petty to ban something that you don't personally like or that you think isn't creative.
