Fannish meme

[oloriel]

Because why write entries I should've written weeks ago when I can waste time on a meme?

Name a fandom you know (or you think) I might know, and I will tell you these things.

1. The character I first fell in love with
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer
6. The character I would totally smooch
7. The character I’d want to be like
8. The character I’d slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise

- - -
Actually, there are not many fandoms for which I can answer these questions. While there are a few fandoms and series that I'm at least vaguely familiar with, in most of them I'm not emotionally invested enough to have favourite characters or know about common pairings or so. But hey, we can try!

Done:
- The Lord of the Rings (requested by samtyr)
- The History of Middle-earth (requested by shadowbrides)
- The Silmarillion (requested by elenbarathi)
- Firefly (requested by lainvess)

You gals are almost as predictable as I am. ;)

Let's make that a little more specific; HoMe! :P

Oof. You're trying to kill me, are you? :P

1. The character I first fell in love with

Not counting those who made it into the published Sil... Eriol comes to mind first, so we'll let him be it.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now

Hm. Did the HoME make me change my mind about anyone? If we include the Unfinished Tales, then I definitely wouldn't have expected to love Númenor as much as I do now, but that's not a character.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t

Another "not a character, but a place" thing - I really don't feel particularly inspired by Gondolin. Shameful, I know! But I can't muster more than a half-hearted interest in the Rolling Stone Singing Rock. :P

4. The character I love that everyone else hates

I still like Beren and Lúthien. :P

5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer

*ponders* Can't think of any. Aldarion if we include the Unfinished Tales - I loved him in the beginning but grew to dislike him along with Erendis, so to say.

6. The character I would totally smooch

Not counting the ones from the Sil, I guess The Lost Road Alboin/Elendil would be it.

7. The character I’d want to be like

Eriol - not necessarily because of his character, but because of his experiences. :D

8. The character I’d slap

MOSTLY THE DAMN AUTHOR FOR STARTING AND NEVER FINISHING ALL THAT STUFF AND BEING UNABLE TO MAKE UP HIS MIND. ALSO HIS SON THE EDITOR.

9. A pairing that I love

Aredhel/Celegorm - the only pairing Tolkien officially denies! XD

10. A pairing that I despise

I really, really think Varda could've found a worthier (and less vapid) husband than Manwë. :P
