From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Big Name Fan

Someone who is so active in fandom that their name becomes famous — well, among fans, at least. Basically, the fandom version of the Internet celebrity, although the term originated IRL.

Sometimes BNFs have a devoted following of fangirls. BNFs are often a focal point of wank and drama, usually because of said fangirls.
