I likewise would like to see a few more David appearances in fanfic. Same for Alison, who Jane could conceivably run into during her college years.
I think Penny Lane receives more screen time in fanfic than any of the other absentee Lane siblings, but I also think that more could be done with her. I would kill to see a fic where she takes Jane traveling with her one summer.
To be fair I thought about Axl using as character but haven't done so far. Don't know why, I think I just hadn't had any good ideas how.
There are a few good fanfics with Allison as a major character, including "More Than Just Lost" by TAG, "Not Your Average Jane" by Yui Daoren, and "Love, Reign Over Me" by Crusading Saint, and several authors have re-imagined Allison's meeting with Jane (including "All Good Things Come to an End" by Dervish on SFMB, and "Seeing Things Through" by Renfield).
While I don't recall any fanfic featuring Axl as a major character, he did make one grand entrance driving a horse-drawn hearse in "Heroes" by Lew Richardson.
I used Cindy, a backgrounder, in an Iron Chef just because I hadn't seen anyone use her in a story. It was fun giving her a bit of a backstory and I'll consider doing something similar in the future. I just don't know which other character to use... Any suggestions?
I like Lehrman. He's probably my favorite of all the one-off characters, though David is a close second.
Luhrman's lack of fic is stunning. He's even more misanthropic & monotone than Daria and there's hints of mutual interest! COME ON PEOPLE

Luhrmann fans, be sure to look up the Abruptly Amy series!
You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll kiss lunchtime goodbye, and then re-read the whole thing next day!
