So got bored and started playing with the filters.
Main characters organized by popularity, based on fics where they are a main character
Total Fics: twenty seven thousand plus
Tony~ twelve thousand
Gibbs~ eight thousand
Ziva~ eight thousand
Abby~ Three thousand
McGee~ Three thousand
Kate~ Two Thousand
Sheppard~Two Thousand
Ducky~ Three hundred
Jimmy~ Two hundred
I wonder what makes Tony, Ziva and Gibbs so popula, or perhaps why Abby and McGee lag so far behind...
Kate is somewhat understandable, since she was only in the first two seasons, likewise with Sheppard. Jimmy is more of Ducky's tagalong, so I get that...
What do you guys think is the reason behind the big gap?
Well, for Tony it's easy. Tony is almost the perfect character. Meaning, that he has something for each part of the audience. Good looking and charming, confident but with feelings, a frat boy but the best agent ever, sassy but ?ccasional butt-monkey, born leader but always Gibbs' second-hand. Out of his own will. Seriouslly, you just can't NOT love him.
Gibbs is the cool responsible but incredibly thoughtful boss with a mysterious past always looking in each redhead the one he lost forever.
Ziva is the lethal mossad agent who still has to get used to a normal life and trusting into her colleagues. Also, gotta love her verbal shenanigans.
They're the ones with the most screentime and that's probably the only reason why Abby isn't up there with them, while the other members of the team are funny and rounded, but the ToGiZi triangle is just that epic.
