Fans! Want to write your own fiction set in our 'Verse, but don't want to tread on the toes of canon too much? Fear not, we have just what you need. Here's a kick-ass one-shot character that the creators have no plans on using ever again. As such, feel free to write their continuing adventures! While "Fan Fic Magnet" feels like a vague term that can refer to any character that gets a lot of usage in fan works, for our purposes, it refers only to canon characters who are barely used in the official work, but still inspire heaps of fan fics. Since they are barely used in the canon storyline, there is a lot of freedom in what types of plots that can be told with them while still adhering to the source material (and not having to worry about future events invalidating anything). Besides, if the writers don't see the worth in such a cool character, fandom might as well take up the task. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Compare with Canon Fodder, O.C. Stand-in, Fanfic Fuel and Fandom-Specific Plot. Examples: |

Irene Adler and her assistant Kate from Sherlock, who are very much a Gender Flip equivalent of Sherlock and John (only with the white-hot Ho Yay actually being acted upon.) Thanks to Irene's line about "liking detective stories, and detectives," it's not hard to assume she wriggled her way into Scotland Yard on a freelance basis the same way Sherlock did. | |

In Ranma ½, the adventures of Ryouga Hibiki. He might be an important recurring character, but he also has an ability to cross oceans as easily as walking through a door, and more than once the manga makes reference to his own adventures that don't revolve solely around Ranma. Where does he go, and who does he meet, what wacky adventures does he have on his own. Only fanfic writers know for sure. All we know is he often wears Leather Pants during them. | |

TaleSpin has more than its share of interesting one-shot characters. Many of these have become popular with fan writers and artists, including Adventurer Archaeologists Myra ("In Search of Ancient Blunders") and Katie Dodd ("For Whom the Bell Klangs") and spunky Princess Lotta Lamour ("The Road to Macadamia"). | |

In Jojos Bizarre Adventure, Shizuka Joestar, the invisible baby Joseph adopts in Diamond Is Unbreakable never appears again after the end of that part.

In The Sarah Jane Adventures serial "Death of the Doctor", Sarah Jane mentions that she's been looking up other companions online. She mentions Ben and Polly are running an orphanage, Ace is running a charity, etc. Fans assumed that, "running a charity" or "running an orphanage" are like Sarah Jane's title of "Freelance Journalist", a small part of what they do, and possibly a cover for other things. That scene was ripe for a blossoming of SJA-like fanfic spinoffs, with every single companion up for grabs. (Also, the one-time return of Jo Grant and her grandson is a more direct example.) | |

Mini-Jack, the clone of Jack O'Neill who appeared in one episode of Stargate SG-1 and was never mentioned again. Here's an example where he goes to live with Cousin Mac in LA: [1]. The Noodle Incident mentioned in the episode "Emancipation" in which Carter drank something which apparently caused her to partially or completely strip. Fuel for shippers, naturally. |

For Avatar: The Last Airbender: Koh and the Spirit World is visited once and vaguely alluded to several other times in ways that seemed to foreshadow a return visit and... nothing. At the end of the series absolutely nothing came of any of it, making things perfectly open for fanfic writers to speculate like crazy on what all of that build up led to. In addition to this is the backstories of Iroh and Bumi, who are both old and have had major influences on the world. Bumi for being Aang's friend before he got frozen and Iroh for being a former General and having actually traveled to the Spirit World. There was an online game between Seasons 2 and 3 where comatose Aang revisited the Spirit World and had to fight Koh; the creators consider it canon, but it certainly doesn't satisfy as much as watching an episode on DVD would. Ursa gets a million fics explaining what happened to her, because we as viewers have absolutely no clue. |

Star Trek: The Original Series: Captain Kirk's nephew Peter Kirk, who appeared in an original series episode but then was never even reffed again outside the Expanded Universe, is easily used by fic writers. Usually, he seems to join Starfleet, and rarely does he have anything even remotely approaching the career of his famous uncle. But he could be a farmer, a Locarno/Paris-type, an S31 agent, or the builder of the later Enterprises, because he has no canonical fate beyond being sent to Earth to live with his grandmother in Iowa, and that came from unshot scenes. Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln, who were actually designed to go off on their own adventures, but never did. So why did Yeoman Rand leave the Enterprise anyway? One Star Trek novel explained she had been pregnant, possibly with Captain Kirk's child. |

Red X (as his own character, not Robin, who was X in his first appearance) appeared twice in Teen Titans, and is the show's Ensemble Dark Horse with many fanfics. It helps that he's an Anti-Hero / Anti-Villain whose identity is still a mystery. | |

The revived Doctor Who has been doing this a lot. The Doctor and the Master have crossed paths time and time again, but what does the Master do when not crossing swords with the Doctor? One of the longest Brick Jokes in the fandom was that, after dropping off Sarah Jane, the Doctor left her in Aberdeen (Scotland) instead of Croydon (London). How did she get back home? What did she do in the intervening years? For that matter, what did ALL of the companions do after they left the Doctor? "What if the Doctor didn't depose Harriet Jones?" is just begging to be written, since that decision had profound consequences on the entire direction of the show. Especially since the Doctor noted that had she remained in power, Britain would have entered a modern Golden Age. Sally Sparrow from "Blink", and now even Amelia Pond (the 7-year-old version of Eleventh Doctor companion Amy Pond, who doesn't actually travel with him until age 21). This last is possibly because the BBC created a genuinely believable companion character, but then could never get away with having a 7-year-old girl running off in the TARDIS in the dead of night without even so much as a goodbye note to her aunt Sharon. So the fans wrote the stories instead. Jenny, the title character of "The Doctor's Daughter", served as this for almost a decade before her expanded-universe return. Her being played by a prior Doctor's daughter certainly helped matters. Not to mention the Meta-Crisis 10th Doctor, who depending on if you count the deleted scenes, will have a TARDIS soon and has Rose with him. Lady Christina de Souza from "Planet of the Dead", last seen flying off into the night in a flying London bus. Madame Vastra and her Ninja Maid Jenny Flint from "A Good Man Goes to War", accompanied by Battle Butler and Heroic Comedic Sociopath Strax. From the day the episode aired there has been an active Facebook group petitioning for them to have their own spin-off show. While River Song isn't a one-shot character, her appearances are far enough apart in her personal timelines to let fanfic writers fill in the blanks. An especially popular idea is to imagine what it would be like if River ever crossed paths with Captain Jack. In The Sarah Jane Adventures serial "Death of the Doctor", Sarah Jane mentions that she's been looking up other companions online. She mentions Ben and Polly are running an orphanage, Ace is running a charity, etc. Fans assumed that, "running a charity" or "running an orphanage" are like Sarah Jane's title of "Freelance Journalist", a small part of what they do, and possibly a cover for other things. That scene was ripe for a blossoming of SJA-like fanfic spinoffs, with every single companion up for grabs. (Also, the one-time return of Jo Grant and her grandson is a more direct example.) Ashildr, who only shows up a few times in a single season, canonically lives from the 9th century until the end of the universe. And even then, she flies off through time and space with a quasi-immortal Clara Oswald. The possibilities are limitless. |
