I know this is about fictional crushes and I certainly know what onanistic means, but all these references to an attraction to
that version of Zan is starting to make me feel a bit unappreciated.

Sometimes I think ALL my crushes have been fictional. [Roll Eyes]

Though this list is far from complete, here are the biggies:

Book is totally right, Death is one of my top crushes.

Luet from Homecoming, DeAnne from Lost Boys, Katerina from Enchantment, and Peggy from Alvin Maker, all by our beloved host.

Jenny, from Scott McCloud's comic Zot! (where I got my screenname, incidentally)

Raina from Jeff Thompson's comic Blankets.

Lucy and Jill from The Chronicles of Narnia.

Thorn from Jeff Smith's comic Bone.

Hmm...I'm sure there's more. Do people like Jane from Disney's Tarzan count? [Smile]

Beverly -- nobody can have a crush on somebody without a personality. Lots of boys have lusted after Lara Croft, but sorry, no crushes.

On the floor to turn you on

Black boots kick high at his face
One last look at the grace of
Miss Emma Peel
Catch the curve of your leather heel
Before he blacks out
That's another one down for
Miss Emma Peel

Okay, so I never watched The Avengers. I just like the Dishwalla song.

Oops. I had skipped over Analog's post. I was wondering why you were waiting for somebody to mention Lara Croft.

But still, Lara was so obviously marketed as a sex thing that it's hard to get past that.

Cate Archer has *more* of a personality than Lara Croft... I am not inclined to comment on how much either of them (fictionally) has, but I find Ms. Archer's back story much more fascinating, and she looks better, too.

My point was, as I look over the list, it is pretty obvious that for the guys a heavy factor in crushes is T&A. I'm not saying that's all of it, but it's pretty darn important. Now, Zotto! has a list I can truly respect. [Hat]

Tor, from Robin McKinley's "The Hero and the Crown". I always have held it against Aerin for falling for Luthe as well.

Darcy, from "Pride and Prejudice".

And Speed Racer. Of course, I was 10 years old at the time. [Big Grin]

Decided to stick with just literary crushes:

For me, there's only one real winner in this category.

Anita Blake

(Maybe "crush" isn't exactly the right word)

OK, I'll not debate that T&A use useful in getting a guy's attention. But Lara Croft is nothing but T&A, and that's just not interesting.

I have used the name Porteiro for years. A friend started calling me potato, mostly because he was bugged at me trying to get him to say a non-english word.

Anya from the Buffyverse.

Arya from Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series...

And no, it wasn't just women with four letter names that began and ended with 'a' and had a 'y' as the third letter.

Ooh, and somebody mentioned Beverly Crusher! She was hawt! But they never really developed her sexuality the way they did Counselor Troi's. sigh.

Most recently, Captain Liberty in the live action Tick series. She has this no-nonsense attitude that I really dig. [Smile]

Edit: And Inara from Firefly. She exudes this aura of sensuality that I can't escape.

Severus Snape (though that might be because of Alan Rickman, hard to say)
The Hound (I think it's more "I want good things for him")
Miro (oh, let me heal your angst and kiss your boo boos)
F'nor from the Pern books (I think I liked him because his ego wasn't the size of his dragon like most of the men in those books, but he was still smart and strong.)
Remus Lupin (Hey, once a month I'm a monster too. Smart, sweet, and let's face it, he needs a woman's touch)
Aragorn (I don't think I need to explain this one)
Jesse from Bridge to Terebithia (think this was my first fiction crush. He's gentle and sweetly oblivious.)
Nick from The Stand (Why did no one snag this guy up? I could never understand why practically everyone in the book was pairing up and he never did find a nice lady [Frown] .)

I admit, Lara Croft was an exaggeration to make a snarky jab. But at the same time, I would not at all be surprised if plenty of guys had crushes on her, at least when the game first came out. Now with the movies, she has become more of a joke than ever.

Actually, I have a crush on Margaery Tyrell...but at least she's 15.

"Juror #8, from Twelve Angry Men"...(Blackwolve) Wasn't he the foreign one that, like, made the best points out of them all? Anyways, I had a huge crush on Daphne from Scooby-Doo, Sailor Moon, and the original pink Ranger Kimberly...I even saw the very first episode of Power Rangers when I was in 1st Grade. Ah, the memories...but then they ruined it with all sorts of new Ranger's series [Roll Eyes] ...so I stopped [Wall Bash] ...then grew up... [Cool]

I just thought of a new one -- Min in Rand Land. That is, during the part of the series that I like (first 4 books). I dislike her in the later books as much as I dislike everything else in the latter books (except for Matt, who became cooler in the later books).

You know if they *had* explored Beverly Crusher's sexuality, my interest in her probably would have evaporated.

In order from then to now...

Prince Jonathan from the Song of the Lioness quartet by Tamora Pierce, and George from the same series although he came later. [Smile]
Dickon from The Secret Garden.
Prince Caspian from the Chronicals of Narnia

quote:
Tor, from Robin McKinley's "The Hero and the Crown".
Him too, but mostly Corlath from The Blue Sword by the same author.
Linus from the remake of the movie Ocean's Eleven. He's just so talented and cool.

There are deinfinately others but I can'r remember them off the top of my head.

Pippin. How could I forget!

Jamie Fraser from "Cross Stitch" - Diana Gabaldon. ::dies:: (One of the best books in the world).

Homer from "Tomorrow When the War Began" - John Marsden (Arguably an even better book than Cross Stitch).

Ooh, and Heath Ledger in "Ten Things I Hate About You".

Ummmm... I'll probably be back when I think of more. [Wink] [Big Grin] [Razz]
