To add fuel to the fire, nobody's mentioned that it might be Sam Finn. Or even Willow Ulfgood...

Cool. Hey check this out. TtH has added a feature where you can click on an author's name and see the most-often used characters, although I believe it's based on a "I am the focus of the sentence" type search, so Xander and Harris can sometimes be listed as separate entities.

You can narrow it down to a specific story, producing some really cool pie graphs, or expand it site wide, such as here: http://www.tthfanfic.org/statistics.php?list=misc

Sam is apparently the 8th most common focus, followed by Harry :D


... Of the three listed here, I feel Sam Winchester is the most likely, but I love the other suggested Sam's here, especially the West Wing one. How about Sam(uel) Vimes? ;)

Very cute and pithy. (Though I'm showing my age by the fact that I kept expecting to see Dr. Sam Beckett among the "usual suspects"!)

I reckon it was Fireman Sam.

Sam Gamgee? Lord of the Rings? *smirks evilly* THAT would be funny.

LoL. I like this a lot!

But you did forget a forth Sam - Sam Seaborne from The West Wing.... not the most obvious crossover it's true, but I have seen it done!

Thanks for sharing!

*snickers*

This reminds me of a short fic I wrote that applied mild satire to the fact that fanfic is such a juggernaut on the internet. Honestly, if the characters in fanfic were real people, they'd spend all their time kissing/screwing/fighting/killing everyone else over and over again. It would be exhausting!!
