The first anon you replied to, upthread

Yes? Which is why I pulled two popular players with RPF fic fandom that have little to no fic as examples. I can't tell if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me, but it looks like the former.

I think we're disagreeing, then. So what you're saying is Roussel is very popular with fic fandom fans but doesn't get cameos in fic? (Ghostbear is a harder case IMO because he's new and there isn't that much Flyers fic being written for anyone rn, so no place for him to appear.)

Yes, I am saying that. And as the Stars are getting fic about them, I can quickly open the latest dozen or so Stars-centric fic on AO3 and ctrl+f his name.

He got one mention in one fic (just a, oh, Rous was there).

Huh. Well, I accept that as a counterexample, and now I'm really curious to know why he doesn't show up more.

I think Stars fic on the whole tends to focus on Benn/Seguin and as Roussel doesn't seem to be in their immediate circle or whatever, it takes more effort to include him? But that doesn't mean fandom likes him any less. He's very popular irl and on twitter/tumblr. The liking just manifests differently if that makes sense.

I'm more curious to see it hold now that Jamie's now a #catclub member.

Well, according to fandom, their immediate circle starts and ends at Jordie Benn and Demers. Soooooo.

I'm pretty sure that's because a bunch of Benn/Seguin fic is written by people who aren't generally Stars fans and got their info from other fic. I guess that's just the way of a juggernaut. Personally, I'd like to see more of Hemsky as a bg character - Segs went to the Bieber show with him and Faksa.

NA And there were those cute little videos of Jamie and Hemsky with the giant jenga! They clearly hang out together (even if it was a couples thing)

I keep reading that as you saying that Jamie Benn and Ales Hemsky went to a couples' thing together.

I'm clearly reading it as Jamie Benn and Ales Hemsky went on a double date thing.

What was that show a few years ago with the police officers who had to go to couples counseling together? That's what your comment is reminding me of, but with Jamie and Ales (or any two Stars, really.) Maybe they sent the whole team, that would explain their improved record this year.

They went to couples counseling too, but google helped me find the one I was referring to and it was called Common Law.

AYRT Well, maybe they did, and they were on a double date with the two ladies accompanying them. I'd read that fic, for sure.

It's not like that comes out of thin air though. Jordie is Jamie's brother and they used to live in the same building so... Plus, Jason Demers clearly hangs out with them. I mean, they had a group halloween costume and everything.

It's the "ends with" that's the problem. They have other friends, too.

But how many fics need that many characters?

Yeah if I wanted to read a Star ensemble fic I'd read a Stars ensemble fic.
