Hmm, haven't memed in a while...

From matadin:

Name any fandom I'm probably aware of and I will tell you:

1. The first character I fell in love with.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer.
6. The character I would shag anytime.
7. The character I'd want to be like.
8. The character I'd slap. (Or punch. Or maim.)
9. A pairing that I love.
10. A pairing that I despise.

You get my answers when I get yours. :P

Oddly enough, I was working on my response when you e-mailed me that. ;)

1. Wash. He ambushed me early with the dinosaur gag and I fanboyed him forevermore.
2. Simon seemed so pansy and useless early on, and then he won me over with two little words: "light it." And it truly clicked for me in that moment what it meant to be him.
3. Inara has failed to grow on me. I guess it's just the snobbery factor, or maybe that she's so closed off.
4. I hear Book doesn't get much love, but I'll make up for it, because I like when Christians are portrayed as neither flawless nor corrupt.
5. I preferred River before the movie. I still don't hate her, per se, but I sense her turning into someone flawless, able to do anything, and that kind of character just isn't interesting. Let her keep just a little bit of that lunacy and she'll keep my attention.
6. Mmm.... Kaylee... what were we talking about?
7. Wash, I think. Largely carefree, friendly, likeable, smart, talented... and has a really hot wife. Kaylee gets second place for the same reasons but she lacks the hot wife so...
8. Can I go off-ship for this? Niska needs a good thrashing...
9. Kaylee/Simon. Two great tastes that taste great together! (...that didn't sound right.)
10. Jayne/River. Just because they're both available does not make it a good idea!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way about Book. I only wish there was more backstory dealing with him. Sigh.

And I imagine that part of the reason that the Firefly fandom doesn't like him is because he's not "hot." A lot of people don't seem to like Inara either, though, so I don't know what that's about. Fandom: I'll never get you and I don't think I want to.

And speaking of Whedon, I just finished watching "The Wish" and "Amends" from BtVS Season 3. Damn you, Whedon! That first one ruined my almost-crying streak and went straight to tears! [/sap]
