Michelle Lovretta, the creator, co-show runner (Season 1), and a writer for the series describes Lost Girl as follows:
The show also uses the case of the week formula by having Bo and Kenzi solve Fae-related cases as private investigators.
==Canon==
The relationship between Bo and Kenzi, whom Bo rescues in the first episode, is the central relationship in canon. Michelle Lovretta discussed the importance of female friendship in a 2010 interview with RGB Filter:
In a 2012 interview with the Watercooler Journal, Lovretta further explained why it was important that the relationship between Bo and Kenzi be strictly platonic:
The competing canon ships of Bo/Dyson and Bo/Lauren are explored in the first and second seasons, with the romances woven into the plot arc around Bo's origins and importance to the competing Light and Dark Fae. Bo/Lauren entered into a committed relationship in the third season, separated by the finale episode, then reunited towards the end of the fourth season. In the fifth season, Bo told Lauren that she wanted them to be together again and Lauren accepted.
==Fandom==
The fandom has grown since the first season after Lost Girl quickly gathered a lot of buzz among Livejournal and Dreamwidth users, and size enough to be a Yuletide fandom in 2010. The show is popular for its female lead, and the strong focus on female relationships. There are Gen, Het and femslash works, although m/m slash is very rare. There are a lot of fans focused on discussion or meta and squee about watching and may not be focused on writing or reading fanfic.

The canon romantic relationship between Bo and Lauren helped to ensure an active femslash presence in the fandom. While Michelle Lovretta's intent was for Bo and Kenzi to be friends, not lovers, not all of the fandom agreed with her, and Bo/Kenzi is one of the common pairings. The pairing of Bo+Doctor Lauren Lewis as "Doccubus" (doctor + succubus) was coined by a fan in 2010. It caught on with fans of the couple and became the term used by fandom.What is Doccubus? (Accessed August 14, 2014) In the third season, Tamsin joined the cast of characters and fans of a pairing between Bo/Tamsin named it "Valkubus" (valkyrie + succubus), in the same vein as "doccubus". 
While Bo/Dyson and Bo/Lauren are both canon ships, many Lauren fans feel that her character is being neglected in favour of the Bo/Dyson relationship (less screen time, less development, suspicion that Bo/Dyson is the endgame, etc.).The Doctor Is In! (Accessed December 21, 2010) Fans who support one pairing over the other belong to "teams": Team Dyson and Team Lauren. The "team" idea comes from episode 105, "Dead Lucky", where in the early part of the episode Kenzi declares herself off Team Dyson, and then later reconsiders it which is a canon shout-out to Twilight fandom practice with Team Edward and Team Jacob.
There are a few fans of the Dyson/Kenzi and Kenzi/Hale pairings.
