Fodder

Literal meaning is livestock feed consisting of large and whole pieces of plants such as but not exclusively hay and corn. In popular culture it has taken the meaning of being an easy target, easy prey or just expendable mostly in reference to military actions. "Enemy fodder" is easily beaten (or eaten) by troops or military hardware.

Fanfic Fodder

1. n. A character, group of characters, scene, or plot that is liable to be featured in fanfiction, usually due to an abundance or overuse of moé or cliché traits possessed by the subject(s) in question.

2. n. As in 1, but with the subject(s) having already been featured in fanficton, esp. when the frequency of these features is high.

The term originates from "cannon fodder", a play on the tendency of moé and cliché characters, scenes, and plots to be used in large, unsparing quantities in fanfiction.

1. "That Becca girl is quiet, intelligent, nerdy, and adorable; she's total fanfic fodder."

2. "I must have seen over nine thousand fanfics about Vincent Valentine on just one site! He's fanfic fodder!"

"Yeah, but Vega is hotter fodder than Vincent could ever be."
