I conclude you like strong women who break out of the mold that's been built for them and make their own way

I conclude you like strong women who break out of the mold that's been built for them and make their own way.

I thoroughly agree with this assessment. Strong women are the best!

Re your lists:
You like a range of men, though you tend to favor older, somewhat contrary or quirky men. You like characters with Personality, man or women--no milquetoasts with no perspective or opinions on their lives. You also like people who can handle strange circumstances--the hells-on-earths and the fantasy/sci fi-on-earth--without warning. Your women, so far as I know, are savvy fighters in their various arenas. These are women who make a Difference.

Wow, Jonah Hex... I'd forgotten about him. I remember him from a cousin's rare (for Romania) collection of comics. *has had weird childhood*

Now, Eric Draven? He has potential! So does Vanyel, once he stops whining.

I should have done a girls list, probably... except we all know I've bee prone to liking Mary Sue types before, so I'd rather not remember about that phase of my misguided youth.

I adore Jonah Hex! Any childhood with Jonah Hex was definitely worth experiencing. ^___^

Eric Draven is amazing. And now that you mention it, Vanyl did whine. ...But I forgive him. He had kickass magic. *gleeful and slightly envious*

Now I'm curious about your Mary Sue list. I liked Anita Blake before the series went off in a strange direction, but before that...my, but I loved those novels. ♥

Anita Blake was okay at first, and then there's Vicky Nelson from Tanya Huff's Blood series.

Mary Sue list:
- Tanya Huff, Blood books - Vicky Nelson
- Anne Bishop, Black Jewels - Surreal
- Laurell K. Hamilton, Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter - Anita Blake (volumes 1-5, roughly)
- a series of self-inserted fantastic characters for every universe I enjoyed; for some, there was no internet available at the time in order to make it result in fanfic MSs, to my eternal relief!

In fact, my pen name/username comes from such a MS. She operated in the Vampire Chronicles universe, though thankfully she was short-lived. The name is all that remains of her today. ^_~

I have a few friends who swear by the Black Jewels trilogy, so it's on my to-read list. Anita Blake I've read a lot of. I'm also reading the first Vicki Nelson book, since season 1 of Blood Ties came in and the first three episodes made me ridiculously happy.

Your pen name/username comes from a MS you wrote? Now I'm curious. I liked the Vampire Chronicles (Lestat ♥!), but stopped reading after Queen of the Damned.

Dare I say that your male characters tend toward slashable? *snerk*

Also, I just got the pun about Warren's name from Sky High. That's...just wrong. So wrong.

Well, I've never tried slashing Blade or Harry Dresden...but on the whole, yes, they are. ^_^

I just got the pun about Warren's name from Sky High.

Hahaha that pun is sooooo bad! I love it! ^___^
