Ten fictional characters meme

[unfeathered]

Seen all over my flist. :-)

Ten fictional characters I wouldn't kick out of bed:


1. Captain Jack Harkness – I don't really need to expand on that, do I?

2. Sonny Crockett – My hubby has a big thing for Miami Vice and wants to be Don Johnson. Me, I took a while to get into it, but I see the attraction now. Oh yeah. Plus, he really reminds me of John Barrowman. There's a definite type going on there.

3. Simon from Mary Stewart's 'My Brother Michael' – A very charming and dominant gentleman who really looks after his lady. He makes me go gooey inside. (See here for a little bit of meta I wrote about Mary Stewarts heroes last year. It's - er - a little dated now - I've learned A LOT in the last year! - but still relevant.)

4. Mark from Mary Stewart's novel 'The Moon-Spinners' – He's a bit rougher, a bit less charming than Simon, but very dominant and very engaging.

5. Angel – When he remembers he's an ancient, jaded vampire, Angel is bloody hot. I would kick him out, though, if he was being all mopey or all silly and jokey. And if he was Angelus. Though I'd seriously have second thoughts there 'cos Angelus is of course even more sexy. But getting killed would rather take the fun out of it.

6. Giles – Not from the start of the series, but later, when he's cooler and more sure of himself, he's very hot. Especially when he gets all dominant.

7. Captain Malcolm Reynolds – He's very, very pretty. And funny. And hot.

8. Faith – Yeah. She's a woman. And I don't much like Faith. But she's very hot. It's that confidence, I think.

9. Captain James T Kirk – When he was young. He was very hot. And… I obviously have a thing for Captains.

10. The Saint (from the books by Leslie Charteris, not any of the films) – He's handsome (hmm, tall, dark hair, bright blue eyes, let me think who could play him… *g*), dashing, charming, thrilling, funny, intelligent… Actually, I think he ought to be up the top of the list.

You DEFINITELY have a thing for Captains - and I really love Mal, too.

I do, don't I? Maybe it's a people with power thing. :-)

Mal is hot. Actually, Nathan Fillion is hot. I actually saw him as Caleb (evil guy in S7 Buffy) first and he was hot there, too. Though very, very evil and I would not want him in my bed!

Kirk? *shudders*

[unfeathered]

When he was young, yeah. He was hot, flirty, funny, looked good with his shirt off... oh, yes, there's a definite trend here. :-)

It's funny, I had exactly this conversation with the BF earlier this week. I never had a thing for Kirk, I always asked why the girls from the last episodes had vanished ^^

Reminds me of a Pratchett quote - "One always feels somehow that there is something delightfully dangerous about a captain".

Ooh, that's a good quote! :-)

Giles and Mal almost made the cut for my list - I'm beginning to think I should redo this one and just let the list go on until it starts to look silly to me.

He wouldn't make the list these days, but when I was barely on the edge of adolescence Captain Kirk was definitely someone I fangirled. And Sonny Crockett when I was a teenager, yes.

When I was barely on the edge of adolescence, it was Spock I fancied... *g*

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was a Spock girl all the way. And so was my mom! This is when the series FIRST AIRED mind you.

Well, I didn't see the first airings, but it was on pretty much constantly when I was a kid so I saw a lot of it as I was growing up. I read a lot of the novels too, in my late teens, and I think it was that, partly, that got me interested in Kirk too. He's a good character. Lots going on there.

Ooh ooh ooh! Simon and Mark! I loved Mark (love Crete too but that's beside the point). I didn't realise you liked Mary Stewart, I have pretty much everything she's written, some of the books are pretty old (my version of the Gabriel Hounds cost 8 shillings new and is as old as me!). Talking of the Gabriel Hounds, I rather liked Charles, and also Rob from Touch Not the Cat, but they didn't make my literary list as I got distracted by fantasy characters.

Nice list *g*

[unfeathered]

Hee, I keep getting surprised by how many people I know here like Mary Stewart! Though I shouldn't be surprised because we all like good writing and hers is fantastic. *g*

Oddly, the Gabriel Hounds is one of the few I don't own - I always found Charles rather wet. I really ought to re-read it at some point, though - it's been years since I last did.

Rob's great, and James an Emory are bloody hot too. *g* Also Raoul in Nine Coaches Waiting, except he's not in enough of the book. Oh! And Con in The Ivy Tree.
