Totally, totally old skool.
I saw this on shadowpryde's journal, and it looked so silly I said, "I'll do that." Egads, but the questions were harder than I thought.
[The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets.]
Tolkien. Really, I need to find my USB drive so I can finish the Ungoliant/Elbereth slash. Um, not that I'm totally, "Giant Spider pr0n FTW!"
[The mysterious, dark, gothy one with whom you used to sit up talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was f---ing crazy.]
Harry Potter fandom is madness. Not only does the canon make very little sense, but once you add the sheer lunacy (no offense, Ms. Lovegood) of the fans, a monster is born.
[The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to f--- again although you're relieved (s)he doesn't actually live in town.]
Firefly, of course.
No, I don't believe in Joss.
[The steady.]
Wish I had one, but I'm kind of, you know...un.
[The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with.]
Harry Dresden, but I'm changing that. I *will* write those stories, darnit.
[The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't.]
NCIS. What? Why do you look at me like that? BFF!
[The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere.]
The Kushiel series, probably. Look, there is lots of promise in it, but it's kind of locked into the existing stories.
[The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking, "Him? How the heck did he land all these cool babes?"]
I'd have to definitely say Stargate, of any variety.. If Farscape hadn't ended, it might have been that.
[The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly.]
Anita Blake, and I'm looking at you, shadowpryde.
[The one who gave you the best damned summer of your life and who you measure all other potential partners against.]
Artesia, of course. Look, I don't even know if it has a real fandom. I haven't touched the RPG. I just know who I want to be when I grow up.
[The one that you will cheat on your steady with.]
Fables. With all its flaws, I still appreciate it, but even if I don't have a steady, I'd cheat on one with Fables.
[The one that you’d look up on Friends Revisited]
Babylon 5 probably qualifies. While I still haven't finished the fifth season, I do occasionally want to pop in an episode or two to visit old friends.
[The one that you’d change the locks on]
Amber, of course. If I could.
[First Love]
X-men. Elfquest took a long time in development, but mine was the reading of X-men fairly consistently (all things considered) until Inferno. My favourite character from like, for-evah was Storm. It was the first Brood storyline that kind of nailed it for me, that and the Morlocks, although I <3 Nightcrawler. Oh, and poor Illyana... I picked up the Apocalypse storyline (Omega, etc.) for two reasons; the hot Nightcrawler, and the Logan/Jean kiss. Old school, yes.
[The One You First Slept With]
Oz. It was the woman who could take off her heads, and the lunchbox tree. Oh, I loved Eureka, of course, and Dorothy I never thought was given enough credit for her cleverness (I think the movie had a lot to do with it), but really, Ozma amused me, and I remember going through something like twenty books of it in the library when I found out there was, you know, more than one.
[The one who seduced you, f---ed you over and broke your heart in a million pieces then laughed about it.]
Elfquest. It ended at #20. You cannot change my worldview on this. It's like the Merlin portion of the chronicles, "Yes, I read them. Yes, I absorbed some of the cool bits. No, they never happened."
