This week's fannish5: What five characters would you like to see get more attention in fan fiction?

(In the spirit of the meme, I won't list favourites of mine whom I always love reading more of but who already have ample fanfic devoted to them, so, no Petrellis here. Or Elizabeth Swann.)

1.) John Locke, Lost. There's still so little fanfic, at least ( Read more... )
