There are a lot of explicitly canon pairings I like just fine, but my absolute favorites, with a few exceptions (like Simon/Nia and Mwu/Murrue), tend to be in this subtexty borderlands where I can argue that there's some authorial intent for a romantic interpretation, but I can't just call them "canon" without some kind of qualifier. I guess you could say I like having to do some of the work myself, but I don't like starting from nothing at all (or something totally unsuited to romance).

I love the girls too, but my roster of full-fledged obsessions that I'll admit to goes Dream (Sandman), John Constantine, Auron, Hughes, Kakashi, Mwu, Omar, Lockon, Keith (Toward the Terra). All dudes (including the ones I won't admit to in public). It's kind of embarrassing because it totally makes me feel like a hypocrite.

Maybe it'll come to you.

...are your bullets little flowers?

I never obsess over female characters the way I do over some male characters. I'll love them just fine, and I enjoy writing about them, but the frenzied fixation just doesn't set in.

Huh, this really surprised me. I've always thought of you as someone who tends to be more interested in the female characters than the male ones. Though come to think of it you mostly talk about pairings in your fannish posts, so I don't know where that idea came from!

I used to be the same until I met Rukia, about whom I obsessed as much or more than I ever obsessed about any other character. *_*

That said, among the characters I've obsessed about, male characters still drastically outnumber female ones.

Actually, Rukia almost did it for me. Then the potential for fixation sort of...slipped away.

I do tend to prefer female characters to male ones most of the time (in my current watch of Evangelion, I vastly prefer the women to the men despite the poor treatment they receive from the text), but my fixations are something wholly different.
