* To a degree, the Eighth Doctor from the FOX ''[[Doctor Who]]'' movie, at least when compared to the rest of ''Doctor Who'' continuity. Since the movie was a failed pilot, this Doctor received nowhere near as much character development as other Doctors, and ended up becoming something of a Tabula Rasa. As a result, he has seen the most fanfics and extra media ([[Doctor Who Magazine|comics]], [[Big Finish Doctor Who|audio plays]], [[Eighth Doctor Adventures|novels]]) of any of the pre-2005 incarnations. |

* On ''[[Neighbours]]'', Lisa Jeffries was a very minor character who shared a few scenes with Summer Hoyland; she appeared in about a dozen episodes over the course of two years. She has, however, inspired a substantial volume of fanfic, which has developed her in ways totally unrelated to her canonical characterization. |

* A juvenile character named Marissa Flores, who appeared in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episode "Disaster" (and absolutely ''nowhere else'' in Trek canon), spawned the rather infamous ''[[Marissa Picard]]'' fanfic series, written by a chap named Stephen Ratliff. And it's not limited to just Marissa; Ratliff also included a bunch of one-off kid characters from TNG as the title character's various minions and cohorts. |

* In the ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'' fandom, the Liz/Gretchen ship has a sizable following. Even if you're regular viewer of ''30 Rock'', you're probably wondering who Gretchen is. Well, she's a "brilliant plastics engineer/lesbian" whom Liz was set up on a date with as part of a [[Mistaken for Gay]] plot. Gretchen appeared in ''one episode'' back in the first season and has not been seen or mentioned since. But let's face it, it's not hard to see the appeal of pairing someone who looks like [[Law and Order Special Victims Unit|Stephanie March]] with someone who looks like [[Tina Fey]]. Plus, the episode contained a substantial amount of [[Les Yay]], featured Frank and Pete becoming [[Shipper on Deck|Shippers on Deck]] for Liz/Gretchen ("So you're saying I should just be a lesbian?", "I'm not saying it'll be easy. You get drunk first."), and ended with Gretchen deciding she couldn't be [[Just Friends]] with Liz because they were getting into a [[Stupid Sexy Friend]] situation. |

* Puck's mother and sister on ''[[Glee]]'', since they don't even have [[No Name Given|names]] in canon, but he presumably lives with them and they therefore play at least a minor part in most fics about his life outside of school and glee. |
