What is a minor character? I suppose everyone has their own ideas about which characters are minor and which are major, but let's review a few definitions.

According to wikipedia, a minor character is "a character in a supporting role." This is a character who helps the plot along, but is usually not a point of view character.

When a TV show, book, or movie has a clear protagonist and antagonist, any other character is a minor character. Example: Bones - Angela, Hodgins, Zack, Sweets, Cam, any of the various grad students.

But things get a little tricky when you're dealing with an ensemble, like Lost or Heroes. In those cases, I'd consider fic about the characters who rarely have an episode focus on them. If you have a fic (art, video, fanmix) about a character in one of these shows, comment here and tell me why you think he or she is a minor character. Chances are I'll let you post the story(or art or, well, you get the picture...).

Now that we have that definition out of the way, go ahead and post. The more posts, the merrier!
