A fanlisting (FL) is a non-profit, non-commercial online listing of all fans of a certain subject, mostly for entertainment purposes. In this case, this site is an FL for the character Troy Bolton, the lead star of the hit Disney movies High School Musical 1, 2 and 3.

Why bother with a fanlisting? For website owners, a fanlisting serves the same function as any other listing -- more exposure for your site, since it gives you more backlinks, possibly improving your pagerank. For non-website owners, it's a rather cool way to see your interests immortalized online. :)

I absolutely adore Troy's character -- of course the fact that he's played by the absolutely gorgeous Zac Efron doesn't hurt. :) He's the atypical "jock-ish" image of the high school basketball star, and that's the best thing I like about him. Beyond being sweet, he actually cares about people besides himself. Not to mention that he's an athlete who can sing and is actually interested in musicals, LOL. Sure, he can be gullible and a bit immature in HSM2, but he's stronger than his weaknesses and that's what's so endearing about him. I love that he goes for his dreams and that he is not a slave to image or reputation. Quite the ideal guy, I must say. Best Troy moment for me is the one that showcases his vulnerability, like that first time he stepped onto the stage to sing with Gabriella in HSM1, because that in effect both decided their relationship. :)

The the title I chose for this site is one that I believe fits his character well. He's a superstar both on the court, and on stage (and, if you count his love interest, a star inside Gabriella's heart too *end cheesy moment*) -- Troy deals with the spotlight quite a lot, and while I believe he relishes the attention, he doesn't let it get to his head. He has always been a boy who goes after his heart, and does not subscribe to labels. And that, for me, makes him more of a star. :)
