Fandom meme

[zimena]

Swiped from catness. I'm not even sure I have enough fandoms to do this, but let's try.

10 favourite characters from 10 different fandoms:

1. Legend Of Zelda: Link
2. Street Fighter: Vega (as in the guy with the claw).
3. Harry Potter: Albus Dumbledore
4. Willow: Madmartigan
5. Rocky IV: Ivan Drago
6. Vampire Academy: Dimitri Belikov
7. Yuri on Ice: Viktor Nikiforov
8. Sherlock Holmes: Sherlock Holmes (BBC version only)
9. Soul Blazer: Turbo
10. Super Tennis: Kim

Wow, that was hard. Only the first three were easy. After that I managed to think of four more after racking my brain and trying to come up with the ones that didn't come to mind automatically. The last three, though? Well, BBC's Sherlock is awesome in Season 1, but I've never seen the other seasons/episodes. And the last two are just games - Turbo isn't even a playable character. Kim is, but you don't really see much "personality" from players in old sports games - I just always used to like her; also because she has a cool-looking in-game portrait.

Maybe I could do this for favourites from 10 different sports next? That would be a lot easier...

Is Vampire Academy worth reading? I keep seeing these books, but I've always thought it's mostly a school romance, no?

The 1st Sherlock season is the best, IMHO. Maybe because of the novelty... afterwards, it goes downhill, more and more. But I appreciate pretty much any Sherlock Holmes, as the concept :)

For sure you can do it with sports, as a slightly different meme - why not?

This is great. OMG so many fandoms but I'll try to do it too.

Hmm... that's exactly the reason why it took me some time to finish the Vampire Academy books - sometimes the "romance" bit gets drawn out and boring. I like the universe the books are set in as a whole, and I also like the main story enough that I wanted to know where it would go, even when I got annoyed at the main characters' behaviour and sometimes (to me" "fake" patterns of reaction. The spin-off series that came out afterwards, "Bloodlines", is more boring, though. I still have several of those books unread in digital format, even though I wanted to read them ages ago already. (For me, the big problem here - apart from the fake patterns of reaction that were there in VA as well - is that it's boring to read vampire books from the point of view of a character who hates and fears vampires).

PS: I not only sorted through the files on my desktop today, I also started sorting the unanswered comments in my inbox. That's why you suddenly get a reply to this. :)
