All right, I owe everyone a real update about my winter break, not to mention some replies to month-old memes.

That's why I'm starting a new meme instead, courtesy of half my friendslist. Please note - I don't guarantee I'll get around to all of the replies. I seem to be bad about that.

Name a series of books/TV show/fandom you know I know, and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I first 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 date anytime
7. The character I'd want to be like
8. The character I'd slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise

Edited to alter "shag", as that's just too strong of a word to use with these examples.

Riddlemaster of Hed trilogy.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

1. I don't think I fell in love with any of the characters on the first reading. I hardly knew them. I was far too drunk on the words and descriptions to recognize the characters.

2. Deth. It probably took me three full readings of the trilogy to figure out what a haunting, haunted figure he is. Before that, I was just boggled by him.

3-4. I don't know who everyone else loves or hates in the Riddlemaster books.

5. I suppose I was fonder of Morgon before I realized what an ass he was to Raederle.

6. Now that I have to think about. *thinks through the vast list of characters* The Morgol of Herun, all fine robes and mysteries.

7. There's no specific character I'd want to be, but if I lived in that world, I'd want to be a Caithnard riddler, pursuing riddles inflexibly, like a miser searching for pennies in cracks in the floorboards.

8. I'd slap Tristan of Hed, stowing away on that ship with no idea what she was doing. Also, Heureu Ymris. Your wife's evil, Heureu. Duh.

9. I'd love to see more about Deth and the Morgol. I can't really make myself envision noncanonical pairings in that series. It just doesn't work in my head. Also, post-canon Morgon/Raederle would be nice. They ought to get some.

10. Other people have pairing preferences in the Riddlemaster books?
