1. post a list of about 20 books/movies/anime/tv shows/video games/bands [fannish etc.] that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2. have your f-list guess your favorite character/member from each item.
3. when someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

It's unusual for me to get fannish about books. I just don't seem to slot the written/literary word into the same fannish mindset as visual-based storytelling. That, and looking over the list, it seems I rarely go for the protagonist. Well, in some cases, but on average, no, and that's all the hint I'm giving.

This is tough.

In Gundam Wing, I think it's Heero.
In Firefly I'm guessing Kaylee. I thought it might be Zoe at first but you're a Ms. Fix-It at heart so...
In Seirei no Moribito - Balsa.
You would think I would know your fave Buffy character but it's not coming to me!
As for the rest, I give up.

[kaigou]

12. It's actually a tie, seeing how Heero was my favorite the first time I watched. (Heh. Amazing things that change on a second watching.)
2. Kaylee among the cast, but she's actually 2nd favorite overall.
7. I adore Balsa (all of them, really, but that's because it's a great cast) but my favorite... nope.
6. I was thinking it'd be obvious but seeing your reply & Windsor's... hm, maybe not!

[windsorblue]

2. Mal
6. My wild-ass guess is Giles
8. Izumi Curtis
10. Another wild-ass guess - Trapper John
12. Heero

[kaigou]

2. Nope!
6. Nope!
8. YES.
10. Nope! (This is one I think nobody's going to get, actually.)
12. He's one of two (first time watching and second time) but I'll give it to you 'n Habibti.

[windsorblue]

Okay, now I'm really wild-ass guessing: either Mr. Universe or Badger for Firefly, aaaand Winchester for MASH.

[kaigou]

Nope, nope, and nope. I don't think anyone's going to manage to guess the character for MASH, though, not unless someone goes wacky and starts at the top and works their way through the entire list. As for Firefly, last time I checked, you've got the character iconified! *whistles nonchalantly*

well, now it's a dare

[windsorblue]

Nurse Kelly. Radar. The Swedish nurse who tempted BJ into almost cheating on his wife, played by Mariette Hartley. The underage soldier played by Ron Howard! Klinger? The madam Klinger had to give all his dresses to? Hawkeye's imaginary friend Tuttle! I know - ROSIE THE BARTENDER.

And Inara...?

[kaigou]

...but admittedly I do also have a soft spot for Nurse Kellye.

[windsorblue]

Wait. Saffron!

[kaigou]

Saffron: YES! ... and you did finally nail it with Klinger, too. Heh.

[(Anonymous)]

Hmmmm....

4- Lockon Stratos (Neil)
8- Riza Hawkeye
10- BJ Hunnicut
11- Hei...or maybe Mao
12- Duo
18- total guess here, Gaara?

[kaigou]

4. Nope!
8. She's not the favorite but she's like in the top three. Actually, she's tied with General Armstrong for second place behind Izumi.
10. Nope!
11. Nope!
12. Nope!
18. Nope! ...but similar kind of personality, now that I think of it.

[maria-chan.livejournal.com]

Naruto - Gaara

TTGL - Kamina? Simon?
....>> HI THAR!!!

[kaigou]

Gundam -- yep, it's Tieria.

Naruto... nope!

TTGL... nope! nope! ehehehe.

*waves back*

[ivoryandhorn]

18. Sasori?

[kaigou]

I guess #9 was kinda obvious, though it's a tie between Kusuri-uri and the woman in story#1.

18. Nope!
