The series itself does yes XD in the latest volume Mashima said he tries to alternate (Though I feel he alternates the alternates) The fans are obssessed over only a select few, I mean compare fanart of certain characters hell even Mashima on twitter has put out more art of Ichiya then some of Cana, Evergreen, Levy, Ultear, etc.

I get that the fanbase is divided but it seems on the places I visit Deviantart, Tumblr, various anime sites, it's rare to find someone who's favorite isn't Lucy, Erza, Mira, Juvia, Lisanna, or Wendy, Levy is rising though

It's rare to find Cana, Ultear, Flare, Yukino, Evergreen, fanart or fans sure people like them but they're in their lower list of faves.
