Hey, I'm so relieved it's not just me, even though your choices were far more up-market! It seems to be mainly women who are lit-crushing (nice term), which is what I picked up from Ian, who got me started on all this. His wife has lit-crushes, he can't see past a pretty face. But he has to see that pretty face for real. No right or wrong, I just find it interesting.<br />

Mind you, a mate of mine some years ago had an unhealthy attachment to Lara Croft. He spent hours playing Tomb Raider, just to see the wench run and jump. I wonder what that might tell us?

Help a lot, it would. And Mr Ford is certainly a good choice... <br />
<br />
Mind, if we're talking real people, an early crush of mine was John Cleese. (He's tall and he makes me laugh!) Gabriel Byrne, though... now there's someone nice. Mmm hmmm.

My first lit-crush was of course, Mr. Rochester. Followed by Heathcliffe, Darcy, the Scarlet Pimpernel and then Rhett Butler, these from about 13 on. Lately, Reacher, Richard Sharpe, Tony Hill and Benjamin January. There are many more, too. I am a literary wanton, I suppose.

Would it help if I said I had a thing for Yoda?<br />
<br />
If so, I'll go with it, although I prefer Mr. Ford in that movie. (And the Raiders movies, of course.) Who else? Have to think on that one...

Oh, people! I was hoping for something truly dire to make me feel better - but I fear nothing is quite as bad as my Famous Five moment. Sheesh!<br />

Characters are too limited to hold my interest, but if they are TV or movie characters, I sometimes crush on the actors playing them. For instance, I like Erin Gray whether she's playing Wilma Deering on "Buck Rogers" or Kate Stratton on "Silver Spoons." I like Karen Allen whether she's playing Marion Ravenwood in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK or Jenny Hayden in STARMAN, and so on.

The ex-wife in Tim Cockey's Hitchcock Sewell series...Julia, if memory serves. I'd like to go for about six beers with her, then see what develops...fictionally, of course...and I'm thinking it ouwld definitely be active voice, long-form, etc. <br />
<br />
Or I could just have a beer with Alex McKnight or Myron Bolitar. But no fancy stuff afterwards...

I'd go for a drink with Siobhan, but Rebus, he's a bit of a grump. I prefer my Rebus, who loved to be scratched behind the ears. <br />
<br />
I'd go for a drink with Jack Taylor, for sure. <br />
<br />
I secretly have a crush on Rigor Mortis. Very photogenic.
