So, here's how it works. Name a character from one of the fandoms listed below. I will produce no fewer than 100 words on why I love, hate, or am indifferent to that character

Edmund! Edmund! *bangs head against desk* Yes...Edmund. :p
1. Abel. Yes, I know. Abel is a thief, a scoundrel, and of course, one of Beka’s loves, so he must be an awful guy, right? Well, he sure was no angel, but he had one big difference compared to the rest of Beka’s conquests; he really did care about her. The way he looked at her said it all really, and compared to the way Bobby, Leydon, Peter, Tyr etc treated her, he definitely wins her heart in my books. Such a shame Tribune cut him, cause he really was a great guy. *sighs* And he was a thief with a cause, and refused to hurt anyone else to serve his cause, unlike Bobby who was very…contradictive. So yes. Lots of love.
3. Marco. Always had a kind of thing about him, ever since I first read the books. Sure, he wasn’t exactly the nicest guy you could come by, but he had his heart in the right place, and hey, he was funny! The way he cares for his father is also sweet, and I very much like his conflicting feelings concerning his mother; very realistic. Then he does have his less pleasant sides, he can be quite ruthless but I must say it was his humour that made me fall for him in the end. So yes; it’s got to be Marco. Love.
4. Suzy. Oh, Suzy, poor little Suzy, always the victim of Calvin’s jokes. Bright and clever though, she never lets them get her down, which is what I love so much about her. Calvin, with the help of Hobbes, always tries to get at her, but somehow she never shows the classical signs of a bullies child, possibly because the bullies are a silly boy and his stuffed tiger, but rather always gets one over on them. While Calvin made me laugh, Suzy was the little political feminist that often made me laugh harder. That, and she’s very sweet. My favourite pieces were probably when Hobbes teased Calvin about having a crush on her. Lots of love to Suzy.
6. I'd write you this one, but it'd be a load of crap as I've never seen Dr Who in my life. It was just a fandom where I knew the name of a character. Sorry!
11. River. Not my favourite character, that would be Kaylee, but River was one that came to grow on me. For a while, I did find her incessantly annoying, especially with Simon’s constant fretting over her, but I did come to like her and her many quirks, I’m not entirely sure when. She snuck up on me when I wasn’t looking, I believe. So, River is cool, that’s all I can say really, and what I like so much about her is that there are no limits to her character. Sure, the show is over and all that, but if it wasn’t, they could always keep doing new things with her, and it would always be believable. She was the kind of character they could keep building at for years and no one would ever stop loving it. Lots of love.
13. Arthur Dent. Now his hopelessness made me fall in love with him. Funnily enough, normally I never fall in love with the main character. A main character, yes, but never the main character, the one and only. One could probably argue that The hitchhiker’s guide had no main character, and if it did, was it really Arthur Dent, but in my mind it always was. It started with him, and presumably it ended with him. I never really got to the end. But it was the way he was so useless that made me love him, and the way he put up with Ford on Earth, never once questioning how strange he was. That, and his hilarious apathy. Love to Arthur.
18. Lucy. Now Lucy was just cute. A cute, silly, weepy little girl with a heart of gold, and I loved her. Sure, she probably wasn’t very realistic, I can’t quite remember how old she was, but guessing around five or six, and ready to fight a war? Maybe things were different in Narnia, but it doesn’t seem quite right. Anyway, she was still far too adorable not to love. She screwed up a few times, but hey, she’s only a kid. Her love for Mr Tumnus was adorable. Her love for Aslan was adorable. The way she loved how she was first in Narnia was adorable. She was, plain and simply, just adorable. Lots of love there.
