I'm specifically NOT reading all the comments on this thread, because I'm in the middle of working on a Frannie/Stella story, and I don't want to get analysis paralysis from reading too much about Meta Frannie.
But! and with! the warning that I haven't read all the comments (although I will), I'll say:
1) Frannie is really, really hot.
2) Frannie was underserved by the writers; when watching some of the episodes, I cringe on Ramona Milano's behalf for some of the dialogue/business she had to force out of her mouth/perform in other ways, solely in service to some very sexist jokes.
3) I'm not sure, but it seems like we viewers/textual poachers have the most information about Frannie, as compared to the other canon female characters. So, as I writer, I feel about Frannie/Whomever kind of the same way as I do about Kowalski/Vecchio. We have a lot of information about Kowalski and Vecchio as individuals, and very little information about their interpersonal dynamic from the show. So there's a window of opportunity that was opened briefly and allowed writers to make up their own dynamic: sweet, funny, antogonistic, violent, jealous, or whatever.
In conclusion: I have no idea what I'm talking about and once I wrestle my Frannnie/Stella story to the ground, I will dedicate it to you for opening this dialogue.
