HP edition.
Hermione Granger.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
Ginny Weasley. Because, y’know, in the first book she was this barely-there, starstruck little wean. Ginny or Bellatrix. I think before I really got to know Bella, I was in the ‘OMG, but she’s so evil!!!11’ camp. Then I got to know and love her and now I’m in the ‘Yes. She’s evil. She’s deliciously, fanatically evil’ place.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
James or Sirius. Sometimes I’m so incredibly annoyed by them that I can’t sit still while reading.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
It’s really hard to gauge the hate of a character in a fandom this big. I'm sure plenty of fangirls hate Bella because she - OMG killed Sirius! So, we'll go for Bella.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
Merope Gaunt. No. Kidding. I don’t think there’s any in the HP fandom that I’ve swung that dramatically on.
6. The character I would shag anytime
Lily. Or Hermione. Or Ginny. Or Bella. Or any of the Black sisters.
7. The character I'd want to be like
*straight face* Filch.
8. The character I'd slap
Filch, in a kinky way. James Potter.
9. A pairing that I love
Filch/mops. Hermione/Ginny.
10. A pairing that I despise
mops/brooms. Ron/Hermione - come on, you saw that coming, didn’t you? Failing that – Lily/James. I’m really don’t understand the school-bully-turned-nice-guy thing and Lily shouldn’t have forgotten the past so easily. James was a horrid little twerp.
BtVS/AtS edition
1. The first character I fell in love with
In innocent love – S1-2 Buffy Summers. In lusty, dirty, filthy love? Faith.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
Anya and Fred.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
Andrew. Fuck fuck fuck Andrew. Yes, three fucks are necessary. I hate that little git.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
Hm, this is difficult. Would Darla or Lilah be particulary hated? I don’t think they are. Glory?
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
Spike. Loved Spike in s2 and his dynamic with Dru and thought he was cleverly written into season 4. I can still enjoy a witty line from Spike during 6&7 but as soon as he starts with the ‘Oh, Buffy, I love you so much that I’d kid on getting my own soul back even though I was clearly looking for the chip because there is no way I’d be idiotic enough to want a soul back, especially seeing what it did to Angelus but somehow I ended up with this soul and blah blah blah’ crap I scream at the TV.
6. The character I would shag anytime
Faith. Darla. Glory. At the same time. Now that’s crazy!sex. Add Dru and it’s fully-fledged insane.
7. The character I'd want to be like
*straight face* D’Hoffyrn.
8. The character I'd slap
Connor. Andrew.
9. A pairing that I love
Buffy/Faith. Willow/Tara. Buffy/Angel (Yes, I am a nostalgic sap.)
10. A pairing that I despise
Buffy/Spike.
Edit: because of format fuckage. Is anyone else experiencing the same difficulties or is it just me? It happened last night as well. I believe it must be firefox3's fault but just checking in case it's an LJ thing.
