As an example of how very large fandom can be and that experience differs for people, I first heard tinhat used in HP but I've heard it originated in LotRips. I heard it associated with various pairings and especially with certain RPGs IIRC.
I too agree with the idea of RPF being based on characters. It's funny how I could understand that viewpoint of others for years but never got into it myself until within the last year or so.
