Fandom
The Incredibles has a small fandom but is generally a beloved Pixar film. A little fanfiction has been written for Yuletide and there are over a hundred stories archived on AO3, many of which are crossovers with other superhero fandoms. The minor character Edna Mode is relatively popular in fanworks and memes (namely the "NO CAPES!").
Shipping
Various pairings have appeared in the small fandom, including the canon pairing of Helen/Bob, and even crossover pairings are common in the fandom with other Disney or other animated films and television shows characters. Some fanon pairings that have appeared are Violet/Syndrome and Mirage/Syndrome. "Parrcest", which is incest between the Parr family members have also appeared: Violet/Helen, Violet/Dash, etc.
Mirage/Violet also appears to be quite popular, as the top three stories on Fanfiction.net sorted by favorites are of that pairing.[1]
The second film included a variety of new characters and new shipping possibilities, namely Evelyn Deavor/Helen Parr and Helen Parr/Stratogale.
