Just... make it a series.

Don't make your series about Characters rather than plot, and don't make a story purely to introduce an OC (see Jeff the Killer, Sonic.exe, Jane the remake Killer, Clockwork the Killer, Slenderman Proxy Story #218, etc.).

Having a story to introduce a character is fine, just make sure it has a driving plot as well.
