Fantasising about a fictional character!!

454 replies

HensTeeth44 · 16/04/2021 10:24

I need your help and to know if I am a complete lunatic and BVU or if this is something that happens to other people.

I have always had a very overactive imagination and have a tendancy to daydream but this is the first time (in adulthood anyway) that I have developed a full on obsession with a fictional character. Not the actor who plays this character, but the character himself! Last night I found myself googling this character and falling into the rabbit hole of the Internet and finding reams of erotic fan fiction. I am ashamed to say I found myself still awake at 2am after reading through tons these short stories Blush call me niave but I had no idea this stuff existed before! I feel such a dork!

Am I abnormal? What does this say about this verging on middle-aged married mother? My marriage and sex life are good, I love my husband and find him very attractive, I don't feel depressed or lonely. What is going on?! Grin

My crush used to be Mike Baldwin and Martin Platt from Corrie. My partner used to talk dirty to me about them together during our love making to really get me going.

It caused issues for a while as I thought my partner might be gay the way he spoke about it (very explicit) but he isn’t, he just liked making me randier than Ann Summers.

That makes the existence of House of Commons slash (I once read a David Cameron/Ed Milliband one when insomniac, which was a poor decision) seem positively commonplace. Shock

Sirius for me!
However for a few months last year I was utterly obsessed with Kylo Ren. The fic "Fix your attitude" had a lot to do with that

This is why I love the internet Grin Although I don't read RPF, it's just too weird. I went through a brief flirtation, and oh this will age me, with LOTR!Actor RPF lo these many years ago.

@MrsGulDukat my golly gosh! Tempted to read now but going to wait until partner returns home. A glass of wine and a dirty story is just what we need right now (dry spell caused by being around each other too much in recent months. It is hard to feel passionate when your partner is taking work calls in his boxers, scratching his balls. At least he wears a shirt and tie up top. But I wish I had the same courtesy as his workmates get, resulting in the dry spell)

MakingPlans21 · 18/04/2021 15:14

@HareIsland this is made up only right? Milliband and Cameron didn’t get it on IRL?

MakingPlans21 · 18/04/2021 15:16

Is it easy to find these things online? It’s not some dark web stuff is it? I have heard about that.

Could someone link Alf and Alisa Stewart (classic Home and Away) stories and also some about Dirty Den.

AdaThorne · 18/04/2021 15:17

If it helps my fictional husband is Ben Wyatt from Parks and Rec. I think it perturbs DH more than if I was lusting after someone especially buff. I think he's lovely and in my head I've played the Cones of Dunshire with him many a time...

@MakingPlans21

Get on Archive of our own.

If you can think of a fanfic, it probably exists.

MakingPlans21 · 18/04/2021 15:18

It looks like all of my crushes are men in soaps. It’s only just occurred to me.

I do fancy Brian May, who is not in a soap, but his wife was!

If anyone has any Brian May stories with short hair that would be simply superb.

FieryWill · 18/04/2021 15:19

For me it would be FBI Special Agent Seely Booth from the Bones series. Totally would.

@MrsGulDukat my house will go to rack and ruin, my job will go off the rails, my family will suffer if I delve into that site too much.

Judging by what they got up to to together in this story, not only had the author failed to understand several key things about contemporary politics but also about male anatomy, so you're safe enough... Grin

No one sees mine now some of my latest stuff I means Tardis secrets nine parts. great fun, 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@Spanglemum

Mr Rochester as played by Timothy Dalton, Ross Poldark. Also Mulder and Scully. Does anyone remember the Gossamer Project, an early xfiles fanfiction archive?
Yes! Gossamer project was my favourite, I lost so much time on that site!

Are there any gamers on the thread that have had crushes on video game characters?

There's some rather attractive animated men/women out there.

Hawkins001 · 18/04/2021 20:34

Literotica is a good source for saucy fan fiction stories
