"Many times, I've wished I had that big machine from the [Oops! All Berries] ad that separates Crunchberries from normal cornmeal spheres. But not for its original purpose -- I don't eat Cap'n Crunch. What I would really like to do is somehow throw NCIS in there and make the entire show about Abby Scuito...Isn't that always the way? Every time I watch a show, I get hooked on one particular character who isn't a main character. "
"Um... I thank you for the fan mail, but I haven't really done anything yet... I do like the attention, though..."

Aug 03 20:58:50 * Z-Gryphon considers one of the interesting peculiarities of fandom
Aug 03 21:04:42 <Z-Gryphon> (then again, Fire Nation Soldier No. 4 is kind of a douche. :)
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. :)—IRC conversation quoted in the Eyrie Productions, Unlimited Forums, 15 August 2014
