Gakked from praderwilli, among others...

1. Post a list of 10 books/movies/TV shows that you've had a fannish love of at some time in your life.
2. Have your friends guess your favorite character from each one.
3. You can cross out the show/movie/book and put the character when someone guesses.

I've excluded a couple of the more obvious ones, so it presents more of a challenge...

1. The collected oeuvre of Diana Wynne Jones ;) Tacroy
2. Frasier Niles Crane
3. The Nero Wolfe books Archie Goodwin
4. The Amber chronicles Random
5. Wild Wild West (the tv show) Dr Miguelito Loveless
6. Queer as Folk (UK) Vince
7. Due South Ray Kowalski
8. Captain Scarlet Captain Black
9. Star Wars Han Solo
10. Magnificent 7 Ezra Standish

Hmm, just guesses!

3.Archie
7.RayK
10. Ezra Standish

Oh, those are the easy ones! ;)

[rach74.livejournal.com]

Well of course! LOL

[obelix]

5. Artemus Gordon
8. Captain Black ;-)
9. Han Solo (I think)

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Two out of three's not bad! ;)

[obelix]

It's not Artemus?

OK well then I'm stumped...

[graculus.livejournal.com]

It's close, but I'd say Artie gets pipped to the post by a certain would-be evil overlord. ;)

[obelix]

Ah yes of course, I should have remembered your love for the pint size nemesis of Jim and Artie ;-)

[rach74.livejournal.com]

2. Niles? or maybe the dog?

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Oh, Niles. Definitely. :)

[rach74.livejournal.com]

5. Jim West

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Nope.

5. Dr Arliss Loveless

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Gah. I can tell you've seen the accursed movie-of-which-we-do-not-speak! His name is Miguelito! :P

[rach74.livejournal.com]

lol nope- I've not seen it. Checked his name on IMDB as I thought his name was Lovelace and it didn't sound right.

6. Stuart?

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Nope. I'd say Stuart is my second favourite, because he's just such an arse (in more ways than one!). ;)

[wildcard-sej.livejournal.com]

And a delicious one at that. Vince then?

[graculus.livejournal.com]

I think it's the dorkiness, or perhaps the Dr Who obsession... ;)

[wildcard-sej.livejournal.com]

Vince was such a sweetie. And his mum was pretty cool too. :)

[praderwilli.livejournal.com]

Damn, I'm late to the guessing game. This game is kind of fun, though. Wild guesses be here:

1. Chrestomanci
6. Vince (he's my fave, anyway)

Never heard of The Amber chronicles.

[graculus.livejournal.com]

No and yes. Vince was always my favourite, which is why I was so annoyed by what a dweeb his counterpart is in the US show (imo), but then so is Stuart's so I guess it's even.

Never heard of Amber? 10 novels by Roger Zelazny, the first 5 of which at least I would recommend highly...

[praderwilli.livejournal.com]

I love Vince, but, um, I kind of like Hal Sparks, too. Although, I guess he is a dweeb. Heh. Generally speaking I usually have a fondness for the sidekicks rather than the heroes in most books/movies/TV shows- though not always! :-)

The Diana Wynne Jones thing is going to be difficult to get right based on wild guesses. She's written so many damn books!

Never heard of Amber? 10 novels by Roger Zelazny, the first 5 of which at least I would recommend highly...

Okay. Thanks for the rec.

[ruric.livejournal.com]

Amber Chronicles - would it be Random by any chance? *g*

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Busted! ;)

[ruric.livejournal.com]

Heeeee - he's mine too *g*

[khek.livejournal.com]

Down to one, huh?

I'd guess Howl, but that's too obvious. Sooo...my guess is Chrestomanci.

:)

[graculus.livejournal.com]

As much as I love Howl, my favourite character from those particular books is Calcifer.

As for Chrestomanci, right series but wrong character... ;)

[khek.livejournal.com]

Cat, then.

:)

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[khek.livejournal.com]

Riight. This is you.

:p

Err...Tacroy? Gabriel DeWitt?

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Riight. This is you.

And just what are you implying? ;)

Yes, it's Tacroy. I admit it. Though I love Christopher as well, and Throgmorten takes the non-human vote quite easily...

[praderwilli.livejournal.com]

That's funny because I was just wandering back to guess Throgmorten, but then I saw someone got it. And it's Tacroy!

[khek.livejournal.com]

And just what are you implying? ;)

Nothing? Well, just that you usually like someone less mainstream!

Yes, it's Tacroy. I admit it. Though I love Christopher as well, and Throgmorten takes the non-human vote quite easily...

Hah! Once I thought about it, Tacroy was obvious! (Although I did wonder about Throgmorten for a bit...)

[khek.livejournal.com]

Oops. Okay, not Chrestomanci. Howl is still too obvious. Hmm.

Luke, from Eight Days with Luke?

[ngaio]

1. Gwendolen? or ... is Chrestomanci's daughter called Judith?

Of course, I could be totally barking up the wrong tree as all your other favourites have been men!
