[emprisswind]

[Baron Von Fruitypants]

Here comes ze liiiiiist...

Mr. Teatime, The Hogfather,
Gentleman with Thistledown Hair, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell,
Mr. Makepeace, With One Lousy Free Packet of Seed,
Oriel, TheWings of a Falcon,
Lorr, Shadowfall,
Countless others that I can't remember because I read waaaay too much...

The worst part is that they almost always die. I don't know what it is about the characters, but they must be particularly killable. crying

[wopastoninio]

Yup, Sherlock Holmes. smile
What can i say? the guy's a genius.

Clopin Trouillefou from Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo. I have no idea why.

And I had to read Sabriel (bleh! xp ) by Garth Nix in 6th grade, and I had the hugest crush on Touchstone. Once again, no idea why. question

YAY! A Touchstone fan! I haven't read Sabriel in the longest time, but Touchstone made the book work for me...

I also have a thing for Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice and Col. Brandon in Sense and Sensibility! (I think the second "thing" is pretty much because he was played by Alan Rickman in the film version mrgreen )

Yes, I like some guys from books.
1.Remus Lupin from Harry Potter
2.Fred Wesley from Harry Potter

Yay, to the first, nay to the second. George is better...

[Pwoink]

Nealan from Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small, though I can certainly understand the folks crushing on the Oh God and the Weasley twins.

[Ayamechan]

Heh... a few...

Most notably Vanyel from Mercedes Lackey's Last Herald-Mage trilogy... x_x;

Yes, I know he's gay. But I was going through s**t, and he was going through s**t... and he was hot... x_x;;;

Also, Althalus from The Redemption of Althalus... and several other characters from that book. However, it seems that David Eddings has a compulsive need to pair off his characters, and Althalus wound up with a Goddess. I was slightly disappointed.

I fall in love with at least one character in allmost every book. xD
It makes me enjoy them more, because I get so involved with a chatacter and their personality I pay attention more.
Some of my greatest loves have been Snape form HP, Erik form TPotO and Dorian Gray.

I love both of them too, mainly because of the actors who played them
Alan Rickman is so delicious.

Pah! A.J. Raffles is the skeleton in the Holmes family closet. whee

Raffles is a gentleman thief, a man about town, and by all indications probably a bisexual. The author of the Raffles stories was one E.W. Hornung, brother-in-law to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. They dedicated several of their publications to one-another, an amusing paradox- stories about a thief dedicated to another's detective, and vice-versa. Many people now postulate that two characters are themselves brothers-in-law, both having had enough vaguely talked about siblings to do the job, which would thus explain why in any Victorian "continuity," why Holmes never busted Raffles. Couldn't possibly bear the shame of airing out his family's dirty laundry. *cackle*

It sounds quite perfect. =D I'll check it out.

mrgreen Yes! A convert! *performs a mad, slightly lude dance of joy*

The first collection of stories, titled The Amateur Cracksman, is still in print. I found a copy at my local Barnes & Noble. surprised The rest is harder to track down however (the second set of short stories titled The Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman (or in England, The Black Mask) and two novels, A Thief in the Night and Mr. Justice Raffles.

To find them in their entirety, free of charge, visit this link and scroll down until you find Hornung.
