Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables (my very first, lol), Laurie Lawrence from Little Women, Will Parry from HDM, Jacob Coote from Looking for Alibrandi, the Tarleton boys from GWTW, Gerald Plass from The Sacred Diaries, Murtagh (if you can call him literary) and Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre.

Surprisingly, I didn’t have one on Mr. Darcy. I always figured, nah. I couldn’t intrude on the canon couple of all time lol. Plus he was a little old.

Gilbert Blythe also, Briar from the CoM series by Tamora Pierce, Neal, Numair, Jon, Rosto, and Dale from Tortall, Peter from Heidi (it is indeed one of the first book crushes I recognized), Fang and Iggy from MaxRide, and, for a brief stint in middle school, Hugo Cabret. My newest crush is Weasel from the Shield, Sword, and Crown series by Hilari Bell – the most underrated masterpieces I have seen in a while.

This is only a short list – in eighth grade I tried to count every character I had a crush on, and it came up to over 25. And this was years ago.

Mr. Darcy… yes, yes…

I also like L from Deathnote and Dark from DNAngel and completely not going to tell the rest. Wayyyy too embarrassing.

Nell from Diamond Age and Francie from A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. <_< Spunky girls are attractive.

Percival Blakeney was awesome, YES!

Lol, don’t mind me, just commenting, here…

Meera Reed from A Song Of Ice And Fire. She’s cute, funny, and knows how to fight!

Oh, yeah. I wouldn’t really go for any of the other women in ASoIaF though. Arya is nuts, Sansa is too girly (maybe she’ll be better after being with Littlefinger a while), etc.

Where’s Sydney Carton from?

I thought I was the only Gilbert lover! What a pleasant surprise!

I don’t know whether to be happy or jealous.

Miriamele from Memory, Sorrow and Thorn
Arya from ASOIAF
Alisa Donnikova from Night Watch
Nuriko from Fushigi Yuugi, if manga/anime count, before I found out ‘she’ was a man.

Sydney Carton! I’d forgotten about him! Aww… I always felt so bad for him. I mean, he never gets anything, does he? He never gets the girl he wants, he ends up dying for his rival in a country that’s not even his own… poor guy.

I’ve always been more a Beren than an Aragorn girl, but I’ll take both.

I also love Ender and Percy Jackson. And I kind of half fell in love with Hector when I read the Iliad.

Videogames… Gordon Freeman and Barney Calhoun, obviously.

Call me weird but I never fell in love with a character from a book.

Oh, this is hardly love anyways. More of an infatuation. :P

Call me weird but I never fell in love with a character from a book.

Yea, I kinda agree. I mean, I can list female characters that I like (and I have done just that), but it’s not as if I actually wish they were real so that I could be with them. Even before I read up on twilight, found this sit,e and became a legit anti, that was what wierded me out about twilight fans. Maybe it’s more of a chick thing.

Yea, I overstated that a little, hence the edit

Just out of curiosity, how often do you guys click the “submit” button, instantly think of something that you should have said (or said differently), and frantically try to edit your message before anyone can read it?

Ugh, never. He’s too easily swayed by people around him. I like a man who can stand up for himself. Like Darcy.

Merry and Pippin were terrific. In the books and the movies.

Oh, dear. So many of these. Rather embarrassing, yes. I suppose they’re not so much literary crushes as Characters I Fangirl (Hard), though.

John Thornton, from Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South
Captain Wentworth, from Jane Austen’s Persuasion
Finn, from Eva Ibbotson’s Journey to the River Sea
Quin, from Eva Ibbotson’s Morning Gift
Marak, from Clare Dunkle’s Hollow Kingdom books
Seylin, from Clare Dunkle’s Hollow Kingdom books
Teddy, from Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women
Numair Salmalín, from Tamora Pierce’s Daine books
Landen, from Victoria Hanley’s The Seer and the Sword
Hobbits and Faramir, from Lord of the Rings (obviously)
Gilbert Blythe, from LM Montgomery’s Anne books
Erik, from Gaston Leroux’s Phantom of the Opera
Bran, from Juliet Marillier’s Son of the Shadows
Cathal, from Juliet Marillier’s Heir to Sevenwaters

That’s all I can think of at the moment. There’re more, but it’s already embarrassingly long.

Aw, Finn from Journey to the River Sea was kind of cute.

Poor Clovis. I always felt bad for him.

Ender, I don’t see as sexual at all. And Bean… eh… he’ll always be the infant-child stuffed in the toilet seat.

What way about Ender?

And he’s bald in the first couple of books.

Oh Oh! I like Marak too, Elanor! But I can’t encourage the feeling because I like Kate too much too have secret feelings for her husband.

I also like Tristan from the James Herriot books.

Zorro does have a book, though. Isabel Allende wrote a book on him, among maaany other people to write Zorro books.

Wuthering Heights is one of those books that I have absolutely no idea why I like at all. I want to punch both of them in the face for being selfish, spiteful bastards. All that damn revenge at other people’s expense. Look how many lives it wrecked.

...but I still love the book anyway.

I suppose they really are the epitome of stereotypical passionate love. I think that they really did love each other, and would’ve been happier together. Really happy only in a word where one couldn’t suspect the other of cheating, though. Huuuge insecurities, I think, on both sides.

My crushes are limited to one person:

Fred Weasley. <3 <3 <3

Idk, George never really caught my attention. Maybe his name is too serious-sounding??

I don’t really like either name, because both were the names of incompetent villains in a story a friend of mine wrote. Lovable incompetent villains, perhaps, but not exactly cute.

My grandpa’s name was George.

Alot of those deaths were tough. Tonks dying bothered me. Lupin I understand, since it completes the four Marauders. But Tonks seemed so out of place. And all they said was how they were two of the bodies lined up. It was a definite WTF moment for me. At least Fred got a death scene.

I started spazzing when

I have to admit, I never did much like Tonks/Lupin. It seemed a lot like her throwing himself at his head and him being too nice to refuse her outright.

I was Very Angry when Fred died.

...shh, I’m still in denial.
