First fictional character you fancied!

[herethereeverywhere]

Was reading the Wolf Hall thread and got me thinking about what was the first fictional character you got a crush on ?

Weirdly I think mine was Henry V from Shakespeare :-/ followed by Mr Thornton from North and South ( just discovered the tv version!)

What were yours?

It's probably too obvious to say Mr Darcy, but I think it was :)

I fancied the eponymous 'Tex' from SE Hinton's novel when I was about 12. I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice but can't ever say I fancied Mr D. I have unhealthy feelings for Eric Northman these days.

Not until I was a Grown Up- Jamie Fraser from Diana Gabaldon's Cross Stitch series. No idea why, since I don't really like red-haired, log-haired men- but crikey he sounds all manly and strong (Plus the kilt thing, natch)

Hal and Roger Hunt from the Willard Price Adventure novels!

Strider from LOTR a bit too, was probably about 13 when I read them.

Lol, not Hal, he was too 'nice', but yes to Roger! Though perhaps Dick out of the Famous Five was first. Then Holden Caulfield.

Hal Hunt from the Willard Price adventures (you're not aloneTMC) and Dallas Winston (from SE Hintons The Outsiders).

Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables

oh and Dag and Andy from Generation X as well.

glad I'm not the only one with a crush on the adventure lads!

I spent far too much time reading grizzly horror novels, so not sure there were any remotely fanciable types in those!

Probably Julian from Famous Five. He was so..um..competent?

It was lovely no-immune-system-Adam from The Boy in the Bubble by Ian Strachan. He was all handsome and, quite literally, untouchable.

I also harboured a crush on the film versions of The Artful Dodger and Diccon from The Secret Garden. :o

Ooh, yes the Artful Dodger and Huckleberry Finn on TV.

I'm glad I'm not the only only one who had a crush on Julian from The Famous Five....

Oh yes, Dally too. How could I forget when I mentioned Tex already?

Yes, Gil from Anne of Green Gables! Later, Marcus Flutie from 'Sloppy Firsts'

On tv, er, Aramid from Dogtanian.

Uncle Quentin.

I was going to say Uncle Quentin but couldn't bring myself to.

What about Ralph in Judy Blume's Forever? Or was that the penis, I can't remember.

Arf at Uncle Quentin! Am currently the FF to DD1 at bedtime, and she is not fond of Uncle Q at all.

I, on the other hand, am much more at Daddy and Mummy announcing that the children are old enough to go off on holiday by themselves and let the parents have an adults only holiday in Scotland. FFS, your children are at boarding school, don't you get enough shagging adult time during term?

Mr Darcy in book form never did it for me, now in film .....

Laughing at all the Famous Five crushes - shall never be able to look at ginger beer in the same way!

Ralph was the penis!!

And YES to Tex and to Gilbert Blythe

Haha, Ralph was the penis!! I think Ralph was attached to Michael.
I was rather fond of Laurie from Little Women as a youngster.
When I got to about fourteen I fell in love, and have been ever since, Rupert Campbell-Black.

Heathcliff, obvs.

Because he's a bastard.

And now Edward from Twilight.

I am rubbish.

Another Rupert Campbell-Black admirer here too.
