Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

To answer my own question: yes - sadly. Rupert Campbell-Black from Jilly Cooper's 'Riders'.

And, even more disturbingly, Pierre Bondurant from James Ellroy's 'American Tabloid'

I can't be the only one. What about you?

Did you see the TV dramatisation of Riders? What were they thinking?
For me, Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing.
I think I had a soft spot for Dick (!) from Famous Five when I was little too.

@FreelanceMama 'Did you see the TV dramatisation of Riders?'

Ugh, yes, unfortunately. It nearly wrecked my fantasy forever.

I liked Dick too. No shame in that.

Athos from The Three Musketeers. Brooding, mysterious, damaged, betrayed.

I even put forward the suggestion when pg that we name our DS Athos. DH said 'what? you mean like the mountain?'

Edward Cullen - Twilight. Wierdly, I fancied the character in the books way more than I fancied Robert Pattinson in the movies.
