"2014.08.03: Odd Fan Favorites"
 
   Aug 03 20:58:50 * Z-Gryphon considers one of the interesting peculiarities of fandom
Aug 03 21:01:17 <Z-Gryphon> Many genre fandoms seem to have, as a common feature, one minor character who attracts a disproportionate amount of interest. Someone who doesn't appear very often, or for very long, and yet seems vaguely omnipresent in fan art and fanfic.
Aug 03 21:01:33 * Philip-M nods.
Aug 03 21:01:37 <Z-Gryphon> The canonical example is probably Boba Fett, who has a grand total of about 30 seconds of screen time in two of the Star Wars films, says three things, and dies.*
Aug 03 21:01:51 <Z-Gryphon> and yet is evvvverybloodywhere in the fandom and secondary licensed products.
Aug 03 21:02:14 <Z-Gryphon> In Avatar fandom it seems to be that girl Zuko went out on a date with while he was hiding out in Ba Sing Se, and who, as far as I can recall, was never seen again.
Aug 03 21:02:50 <Philip-M> Jin? Yup.
Aug 03 21:04:14 <Z-Gryphon> Mind you, I'm not coming down on that. I like her too, I'm just not sure why, given that Fire Nation Soldier No. 4 probably got more screen time. :)
Aug 03 21:04:42 <Z-Gryphon> (then again, Fire Nation Soldier No. 4 is kind of a douche. :)

* Don't start with that Expanded Universe crap.
