You've got it in a nutshell, I think. Minor whumping at the beginning is good as long as it develops into something more serious/life threatening/angsty along the way.
I also agree totally with the OC thing, while they're fine for minor characters (ie nameless soldiers that are KIA during a mission, preferably near the beginning, or nurses/scuentists/kitchen staff/etc.) I really don't like to read OC-centered fics. I definitelu prefer to stick with the canon characters for the most part.
