Madness! Why on Earth is this Matt barely-a-character so popular?
Perhaps he's used so much as it's a male character who isn't an OC but isn't really developed?
I suppose that makes sense. I imagine some sort of fanonical characterisation has sprung up and been propagated through fanfiction. It just seems terribly, terribly odd to me.
I was spoiled for L's death as well, but I wasn't expecting it when it happened, largely because I had also been spoiled for the Death Note movie and confused that with the spoilers I'd heard for the anime. 'WHAT? HE CAN'T DIE NOW, WHAT ABOUT... oh, that doesn't happen in the anime, does it?' Essentially, I was so spoiled that the spoilers combined to make events a surprise, which I suppose was quite nice.
I would totally read narcisstic Light/Light fic, just because it could be amazing!
It may interest you to know that kadrin, being a wonderful person in every way, has actually written some.
