That was a subtle way of saying 'shut up, sun-star, no one cares', wasn't it?
I'm just trying to lecture Janny into agreement |

That's a very good point, sun-star - I hadn't thought of it that way before - that we actually DO "know" the fictional character in the sense of we can know his/her "thoughts", so it's not just like a celebrity crush.

Hmm...there's always someone I like in just about every book I read. I like Watsuki's interpretation of Captain Sagara Souzou in Rurouni Kenshin, but he was a real person. I have sort of a thing for him though. I did a picture of him from art and it's been hanging up in either my locker or my room since. (but Goku? That's just too funny!)
I kind of liked Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment. Is that weird? I can't think of any more. Oh yeah, except the main character in the story I'm writing. But he's sort of based on someone from real life anyway, so, you know. Fictional crushed are sort of fun and they just sort of happen, but seriously, you just can't beat those real life guys (or girls). |

Even old duffers like me can still have their world rocked by a fantasy character.
Predictably, my heart belongs to Aragorn. [Book or Film interpretation] He's ruined me for other men. If a guys's not wearing chainmale and hurling a big old sword around his head, then I'm just not interested. Unfortunately, you don't get a lot of males who fit that description round my neck of the woods.

And if you did, they'd probably be crazy or nerdy cos-players or something. *sigh* It's too bad.

I hope it's not disloyal to Lewis to say so, but Tirian and Caspian are basically the same character anyway...

Nikolai Vsevolodovich Stavrogin. (I like him enough to revive a 4 1/2 year old thread just to say so )

I watched S. Darko the other night and thought of you, Curufin. I bet you can guess why.

So you still think of hm as the bright falcon, and don't think they've turned him into an owl?

When I was younger, I read the Princess Diaries and really liked Michael. There was this series of books about ancient Celts which had this girl with seven brothers. She also gets married. About four out of the seven brothers I liked and of course, the husband. I never really was a Caspian girl. If books could have fangirls, I would have been one of Tirian's. I can't promise I'll like a movie portraying of him.
I like how most of the people mentioned above are from classical novels. There are a few exceptions, but not many. Lots of Jane Austen. Or so it seemed to me.
