I've probably done this before, but not in awhile, and I'm feeling like a distraction. So...

Post one of my fandoms and the number of any of these questions (as many or few as you like) and I'll tell you the answer!

Note #1: "All" is absolutely an option.

X
X-2
Deep Space Nine
Harry Potter

Damn that other X fandom. Should be FFX, of course.

OH and, let's say chef's choice for as few or many as you want to answer.

Doing FFX and X-2 together because I think of them as one canon, and whenever I do these memes, people always ask for one or the other, not both.

1. The first character I fell in love with: Auron
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Nooj. I always liked him, from the first time I played the game, but spending so much time with him in my writing has really cemented my love for him.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Rikku. I like Rikku, I do. More in FFX than in X-2, but even then I still liked her well enough. But she gets so much of the focus in the wider fandom that I burned out on her. Less so now than a couple of years ago, though.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Beclem. Even before I started Aftermath, although of course writing Aftermath helped.
5. The character I would shag anytime: Auron, Baralai, Nooj.
6. The character I'd want to be like: Lulu.
7. The character I'd slap: Brother.
8. A pairing that I love: Um, let's see, there must be one around here someplace...
9. A pairing that I despise: Auron/Rikku. I've tl; dr'd about this one before, so let's just leave it there.
10. Favorite character: Auron and Paine. Please don't make me choose between them.
11. What are my five favorite things about the fandom. 1) I have met some extremely awesome people. 2) Even after many years with no new canon, people are still coming up with good stories and fascinating ideas. 3) FFX is still my favorite game ever. 4) The fact that I'm still winning converts to Paine/Nooj. 5) So much potential backstory to explore, in both the people and the world.
12. What are my five least favorite things about the fandom. 1) Despite all that potential backstory to explore, a huge percentage of the fics are about the same three pairings. 2) Lack of recent participation -- it's been seriously quiet lately, with many of the regulars drifting away and not much new blood. 3) So few fanworks for my OTP, despite all those converts. 4) All the hate for X-2. 5) There is no number 5.
13. Who are my five favorite characters. Auron, Paine, Nooj, Baralai, Lulu. This list could be much longer.
14. Who are my five least favorite characters. Brother, Leblanc, Seymour, Tobli, I can't think of a fifth
15. What are my five favorite pairings. Paine/Nooj, Baralai/Yuna, Tidus/Yuna, Wakka/Rikku, Auron/Braska/Jecht (although I prefer that grouping to tend more towards the gen)
16. What are my five least favorite pairings. Auron/Rikku, Lulu/Wakka, Auron/Tidus, Seymour/Tidus, Nooj/Leblanc
17. Which character are you most like. Probably Yuna.
18. What is my deep, dark fandom secret. I am not entirely on board with Gippal/Baralai. There are things I like about it, and ways in which I like them better as close friends. But that might just be my natural resistance to pairings talking.

1. The first character I fell in love with: You know, I can't really remember. Maybe Sisko, maybe Kira, maybe Bashier.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Damar. They did such beautiful character development on him.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Does everyone love Quark? Anyway, he never did much for me.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Is there a character everyone hates? There's so many love-to-hate characters - Dukat, Weyoun, Kai Wynn, and I love them all, but I'm not sure that counts.
5. The character I would shag anytime: The Sisko
6. The character I'd want to be like: Jadzia Dax
7. The character I'd slap: Quark. Many times. Then again for good measure.
8. A pairing that I love: Worf/Jadzia Dax (*not* Ezri)
9. A pairing that I despise: Odo/Kira. Despise is maybe too strong a word, and I actually really liked it when Odo loved her from a distance, but I never bought her falling in love with him.
10. Favorite character: Garak
11. What are my five favorite things about the fandom. This is my favorite TV show of all time. No exaggeration. I've never really been in the fandom, though.
12. What are my five least favorite things about the fandom. That it's over. :(
13. Who are my five favorite characters. Garak, Sisko, Bashier, Jadzia Dax, Kira, Worf
14. Who are my five least favorite characters. Quark, the Grand Nagus, Ezri Dax... and I'm out.
15. What are my five favorite pairings. Worf/Jadzia, Sisko/Kassidy, Bashier/Jadzia, Bashier/Garak, Ezri/Jake. Honorable mention: Kira/Dukat
16. What are my five least favorite pairings. Odo/Kira, Ezri/Bashier (that one really irritated me, because it felt rushed, and like a sop to the fans who wanted Bashier and Jadzia to end up together), Garak/Ziyal, Quark/Ensign Ro (that one comes from the tie-in novels set after the series ended; it sucked just as much as you might think it does), Quark/Dax
17. Which character are you most like. Good question. My first instinct is to say Jake, but I'm not sure why.
18. What is my deep, dark fandom secret. This is the only show I own in its entirety on DVD. I paid entirely too much for it, and it was worth every penny.

Hmm, I need DS9 icons.

Hah, Quark was one of those love-to-hate characters for me. But he totally deserves a slap. A few times for good measure.

Jake makes sense for you, somehow.

This just reminds me of HOW MUCH OF THIS SHOW I'VE FORGOTTEN. Need to rewatch, yes.

1. The first character I fell in love with: Hermione
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Neville Longbottom. And Ginny, too.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Draco
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Maybe Ron -- does fandom hate Ron? I guess it depends on the corner of fandom.
5. The character I would shag anytime: You know, I dunno. Alan Rickman, in theory, but not as Snape. The kids are too young, none of the teachers appeal all that much.
6. The character I'd want to be like: Dumbledore, except without all the crazy secrecy stuff.
7. The character I'd slap: Draco, seriously.
8. A pairing that I love: Ron/Hermione
9. A pairing that I despise: Harry/Snape
10. Favorite character: Tough call. Sometimes Dumbledore, sometimes Hermione, sometimes Lupin.
11. What are my five favorite things about the fandom. I've only ever watched this fandom from the fringes. Some amazing fic came out of it, some amazing meta, and some amazing Internet lore.
12. What are my five least favorite things about the fandom. It's massive, and portions of it are *insane*.
13. Who are my five favorite characters. Dumbledore, Hermione, Lupin, Neville, Harry
14. Who are my five least favorite characters. Draco, Lucius, Crabbe, Goyle, Cho
15. What are my five favorite pairings. Hermione/Ron, Harry/Ginny, Neville/Ginny, James/Lily, Harry/Luna
16. What are my five least favorite pairings. Harry/Snape, Harry/Draco, Harry/Voldemort, Harry/Hermione, Snape/Lupin
17. Which character are you most like. Hermione. It's a cliche answer, but it's true.
18. What is my deep, dark fandom secret. I liked Book 5.
