Five Fictional People meme

[pegkerr]

Gacked from rachet, madlorivoldmort, and kiwiria:

List five fictional people -- from television, movies, books, whatever -- that you had a crush on as a child (or early teens). Then post this on your LiveJournal so other people can know what a dork you've always been.

1. Han Solo
2. Vincent from Beauty and the Beast
3. Aslan. Um. Does this count?
4. Cyrano de Bergerac
5. The Scarlet Pimpernel

Edited to add: I just noticed that two of the five grow hair on their faces. Maybe that's why I married a guy with a beard.

Aslan! how could I forget him?

Cyrano de Bergerac should probably have been on mine too, come to think of it....

I'm afraid I'd only have Miles Vorkosigan on my list.

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

I discovered Miles only in my thirties. Because Lois McMaster Bujold joined my writers group!

I still have a crush on Han Solo. ;)

Wow, I share 1, 2, and 5 with you! Ooooo, Scarlet Pimpernel. Did you know that the text of all the Pimpernel books is online?

I'd replace 3 with Nat Eaton from The Witch of Blackbird Pond and 4 with Almanzo Wilder (from the books, not the TV show).

Pimpernel bookS???????

[peacockharpy.livejournal.com]

Yep -- there are PILES of them.

I actually own a copy of The Elusive Pimpernel. And the Anthony Andrews/Jane Seymour TV version (one of my lovely guilty pleasures) is based on The Scarlet Pimpernel and El Dorado.

Go forth and read! :)

You're not the only one who loves that. I adore The Scarlet Pimpernel and have been dying to get my hands on a copy of El Dorado. Unfortunately, I believe it's not in print right now.

I don't think so either, but the Blakeney Manor Web site has the entire text online: http://www.blakeneymanor.com

I loved The Witch of Blackbird Pond! And Almanzo coming out to get Laura during a blizzard when she taught at the small settlement. What a man!

How about Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables.

*sigh*

[peacockharpy.livejournal.com]

Gilbert! How could I forsake Gilbert!

*stares worriedly at list*

Are you sure we can only have five?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

You of course, dear heart, can have as many as you like.

[peacockharpy.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! I can have a literary man-harem!

[aitchellsee.livejournal.com]

Only FIVE???

A few years ago I confessed to a friend of mine that my first childhood crush was on Race Bannon from _Johnny Quest_. She looked at me like I was COMPLETELY out of my mine. (This from a woman who used to play "fairy horse" in her backyard as a girl...)

[haniaw.livejournal.com]

Oh yeeessssss! Johnny Quest was my absolute favourite cartoon. I agree that Race was yummmy!

[carbonel]

I've read at least one Jonny Quest slash story -- it didn't mean much to me, but it was Race Bannon slashed with some other adult guy.

Were you really a child or an early teen when Han Solo first made an appearance?? Wow, I feel old. Off the top of my head, I can think of two:
1. Little Joe from Bonanza
2. Tracy Steele from Hawaiian Eye

Heh. Virtually every woman I know carries a torch for Han Solo... though if you're after Harrison Ford eye candy, few things top Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Pretty excellent conditioning for a guy of 42... heck, I'm wildly heterosexual and I like lookin' at the guy.
