Fantasising about a fictional character!!

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

@WithIcePlease

Might have a look see if there's any on Lucius Malfoy but I may be alone there?
You are most definitely not alone. Lots of Lucius fan fiction out there.

@Morgan12

You need to tell us who it is. Don't leave us hanging!

I am in love with Klaus Mikaelson who is a fictional character and a mythical creature!

How can anyone not love Klaus Michaelson😍

A few months ago I had no idea who the Avengers where, never heard of them! But now ds and dh are getting into the films and I sat down to watch one and oh my word I just fell in love with Captain America! 😍😍

MrsGulDukat · 16/04/2021 18:18

I'm the same OP. I write fanfiction to unleash the fantasies. Some of it smutty.

Nothing wrong is some escapism.

Theneverendingcleaningcycle · 16/04/2021 18:19

The priest from flea bag. 😆

MrsGulDukat · 16/04/2021 18:22

In fact, I'll go one better and say its a fictional alien.

I can go even further about characters in video games I've played.

It’s the fic I’m rereading now. It got me into fan fiction because it’s so amazing!

I think Snape isn't too bad (although he could do with a bath first). I once sat up late reading erotic fan fiction about Maui in Moana...

Yes to Snape ( film not book version) think alot of it has to do with the voice, the way he curls around words .
If I close my eyes I can hear him say ' take off...your clothes ' bet he is well dirty in the sack Blush

nocoolnamesleft · 16/04/2021 19:01

I knew it wasn't Aragorn. He's mine. Though technically I prefer Strider...

MrsGulDukat · 16/04/2021 19:02

Oh, anyone looking for fanfic, go to Archive of our own.

They aint shy over there.

Starborn · 16/04/2021 19:03

@CroutonsAvatar

I had this with Benedict’s Sherlock. 😂

Everyone thought I was mad.

Don’t find Cumberbatch attractive in the slightest, though.

I'll have Martin Freeman as Dr Watson any time - can't be doing with 'bad boy' types, but a serious, honourable man does it for me.

Judging by PPs, it seems I'm in the minority!

Newnamefor2021 · 16/04/2021 19:07

Haha! Yeah I have definitely gone done the snape rabbit hole 😂 ... I'm not even sure what it is, the bad guy/loner/misunderstood aspect I think.

The witch 🤤 but snape is definitely my go to fantasy.

MWMWMW · 16/04/2021 19:08

Not weird at all, OP

Jay Halstead mmmmm .... 👿 👿
Kelly Severide mmmm... 👿👿

Halstead/Severide sandwich? 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿

WhySoSensitive · 16/04/2021 19:15

The Witcher AND Henry Cavill. I’d take them as a twin pair every day of the week.
