Can someone give me some examples of BNFs? From relatively current fandoms (as in, last two or three years)? Because I've never been very good at the social end of fandom, and it always confuses me when people start talking about this sort of thing. Are there any current concrete examples of the kind of people we're talking about?

CC was a massive BNF in HP fandom

Yeah. She was a big BNF in Harry Potter fandom, though I somehow avoided her work. She was also a pretty big BNF in LOTR fandom, too, through her Very Secret Diaries. That part I didn't avoid.

In each fandom there are people that various people know for one reason or another - usually because they're fic authors. Their fics are often recced, so people hear of them through that.

I imagine astolat is one in MCU Avengers at least. Her fics are popular but it's not the only fandom she writes for. She was also one of the main people behind Yuletide and AO3, and well-known because of that too.

Like alexi_lupin said, it's people that are known for one reason or another. It used to be that having 300 friends on LJ (or less if your fandom/pairing is small) was a sign of being a BNF. It's different now that fandom has decentralised from LJ but the core concepts of having a following and people viewing BNFs' words as weighing more than non-BNFs' are still the same.
