rushthatspeaks1. Name your ten favorite fictional characters of all time and what book, movie, or TV show they came from. (This is in order.)
1. Roland of Gilead, from Stephen King's Dark Tower books.
2. Kaworu Nagisa, Neon Genesis Evangelion.
3. Rush-That-Speaks, from Engine Summer by John Crowley. These above three subject to switching without notice. Actually, they're all my favorite.
4. The Mad One, from Deep Roots, my novel.
5. Homura from Gensomaden Saiyuki.
6. Muraki from Yami no Matsuei.
7. Phedre no Delaunay, from Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel books.
8. Ransom from C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy.
9. Segnbora from Diane Duane's Door Into books.
10. Athanasia Sioris, from Peter S. Beagle's The Folk of the Air.
I note three women, six men, and one indeterminate; the top three are all male, but the notch just below favorite is occupied by my own personal possibly-gendered-somehow psychopathic alter ego. All the guys are pretty butch, but all the women are at least bi. Je ne comprends pas.
