Comment if you want me to give you three fandoms to do this with.
Due South
01. The first character I fell in love with: Ray Vecchio. I veer towards sidekicks as a rule.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Ray Kowalski. It should have been the end of my little world when Callum took over from David. But Callum pulled it off. I'm proud to be a fan of his.
03. The character everyone else loves whom I don’t: Benton Fraser. I like him, but I don't love him.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: Francesca Vecchio.
05. The character I would shag anytime: Ray Kowalski.
06. The character I'd want to be like: Benton Fraser. Yes, that's right. I don't love him, I am to be him.
07. The character I'd slap: Oh, that's a long list... mostly out of love though.
08. A pairing that I love: Bob/Caroline is quite good.
09. A pairing that I despise: I don't tend to get to invested with pairings one way or the other really.
10. Favorite character: Lieutenant Harding Welsh
11. What are my five favourite things about the fandom: Thank you kindly. A half deaf wolf. Ghosts. The Riv. The Goat.
12. What are my five least favourite things about the fandom: 'is Ray Vecchio a bad cop?' stories. Ray Wars. Slash everywhere, buckets and buckets of it. Fart jokes. Thatcher bashing. Fraser living in his office.
13. Who are my five favourite characters: Ray Vecchio, Welsh, Ray Kowalski, Diefenbaker, Fraser
14. Who are my five least favourite characters: This is really tough. Irene Zuko, those kids in The Promise, Andy and whathisname, Christina... mostly bit and child actors.
15. What are my five favourite pairings: See not invested. Um... RayK/Frannie, Frannie/Welsh, Ray/Ray... ::shrugs::
16. What are my five least favourite pairings: Welsh/Dief? Uh... apart from bestiality issues, I actually rather like that one. RayK/Fraser, cause it's everywhere.
17. Which character are you most like: Benton Fraser. Not the smarts thing, more to do with the passive-aggressive wit.
18. What is my deep, dark fandom secret: I can never truly ship Fraser/anybody. If anyone should avoid the whole long time commitment thing, marriage, etc, it's him. At least until he gets some of his issues sorted out. Really, authors? Why force him to be all better? Or if that's not your thing, why force the Rays or Thatcher to deal with it?
Star Trek
01. The first character I fell in love with: I think it was Spock (TOS). Either him or Data (TNG), I was very young at the time.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: The Doctor (STV). He annoyed me at first. The quintessential 'I have a sharp wit and I'm rude so therefore you must love me.' Uh. But I warmed up to him.
03. The character everyone else loves whom I don’t: Vedek Bareil (DS9). I liked his Mirror Version though.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: Dr. Katherine Pulaski (TNG). Sound woman.
05. The character I would shag anytime: Malcolm Reed (ENT).
06. The character I'd want to be like: I wanted to be like Spock (TOS) when I was a young one. Nowadays, I want to be like Keiko (TNG - DS9) or Kira (DS9).
07. The character I'd slap: T'Pol (ENT). Sweetie, either have a midlife crisis or have recently grieving Trip, not both!
08. A pairing that I love: Keiko/Miles (TNG-DS9). I like me a long marriage.
09. A pairing that I despise: T'Pol/Trip (ENT). See above for reasons.
10. Favorite character: I'm going to go with Picard (TNG), especially as the series/movies go on.
11. What are my five favourite things about the fandom: Something me and the Big Brother don't argue about, logic, peace in the future, transporter, super-medicine.
12. What are my five least favourite things about the fandom: Super-Trekkies. While I respect your need to dress up as a starship captain/Klingon, I don't have to like it. Plus it makes me ashamed of my fandom. Ashamed. Space-snobbery. The fact that every late twentieth century historian is an expert in American history. What happened to the Starfleet vs. Maquis? They didn't take too long to get domesticated, did they? Trip got pregnant. It doesn't work in fanfiction, it won't work on the telly.
13. Who are my five favourite characters: Spock, Picard, Worf, The Doctor, Malcom Reed.
14. Who are my five least favourite characters: Kirk, Troi (though she got better in the movies, I will admit), Bareil, Naomi Wildman (with her freakishly fast growth and knows-everything and she's cheery...), T'Pol.
15. What are my five favourite pairings: Keiko/Miles, Worf/Jadzia, Malcolm/Hoshi, Jean-Luc/Beverly, Scotty/Uhura
16. What are my five least favourite pairings: Seven/Chakotay (not a huge fan of UST, but some warning bar a slightly pervy 'relationship' with Holo-Chakotay would have been nice), Data/anybody before he gets his chip, Neelix/Kes (sure Neelix is a lovely man, but Kes wasn't two years old by the time we meet her, and he saved her from being abused and possibly raped, it just seemed to be unintentionally wrong.) Worf/Ezri (saw what the writers were doing there, I think it worked a little too well) and Julian/Ezri (with which the point the writers were trying to make with the last pairing, suddenly did not apply, huh?)
17. Which character are you most like: Hoshi Sato (ENT), again without the genius, but I'd freak out a lot too before settling in.
18. What is my deep, dark fandom secret: I fear the fandom.
Tin Man
01. The first character I fell in love with: Hank is awesome.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Wyatt Cain. I guess I like angry people ::shrugs::
03. The character everyone else loves whom I don’t: Glitch. The only reason I like him at all is due to Alan, but some of his lines were so bad, I almost fell over.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: Queenie. I suppose 'love' is a bit much but I can connect with her despite her completely rubbish planning abilities.
05. The character I would shag anytime: Zero, I suppose, but there'd have to be conditions. I think I may have to wear him down first. I suppose Cain would be next, but I don't want to interfere with his angst about his wife. Jeb, but again, I'd prefer to be his friend first. I guess I want to marry him. We're about the same age, so that's a first for that fantasy.
06. The character I'd want to be like: Mystic Man minus the drug addiction.
07. The character I'd slap: DG. Snap out of it, woman!
08. A pairing that I love: Wyatt/Adora
09. A pairing that I despise: Despise is a bit strong, but I don't like Az/Zero. Everytime either I or anyone else writes it, it comes out wrong.
10. Favorite character: Jeb. I like him. But I'm defensive about Zero's character.
11. What are my five favourite things about the fandom: Giant Plot Holes of Doom. The people in the fandom. Cheesy as Demilo. Great actors in freakishly idiotic parts. Fanon.
12. What are my five least favourite things about the fandom: Giant Plot Holes of Doom (it's a love-hate thing). The badfic woobifying the only serial killer in the bunch. Cute!Zero? Queenie's fail!parenting. DG's Stare. Ahamo's reaction to DG.
13. Who are my five favourite characters: Wyatt, Jeb, Zero, Mystic Man and Raw.
14. Who are my five least favourite characters: Azkadellia just puts up with DG? I wouldn't not even at that age. No wonder the Witch took her over. DG. Ahamo. Most of the Longcoats. To paraphrase Spike at the Scooby Gang: This is the band that foiled all our plans? I am so ashamed.
15. What are my five favourite pairings: Wyatt/Adora, Ambose/Wyatt... in all honesty, I prefer Gen.
16. What are my five least favourite pairings: Az/Zero (unless someone can do it well), DG/Cain (over saturation again, I find the reasoning a little shaky the more I see it), Jeb/Az (it's not that there's anything wrong, it's just the same angst over and over). I've yet to find anything really good with Zero, including my own efforts. Raw/Zero's starting to seem more and more tempting the more I read.
17. Which character are you most like: Jeb? I copy my mother, but I freak out when she acts like me. Replace mother with father, I think you got Jeb there. With a side of abandonment of course. I don't have that I think. Don't leave me!
18. What is my deep, dark fandom secret: Just watched it so I could see Callum. I was Callum-starved.

01. The first character I fell in love with: Ray Vecchio. I veer towards sidekicks as a rule.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Ray Kowalski. It should have been the end of my little world when Callum took over from David. But Callum pulled it off. I'm proud to be a fan of his.

Want to give me a round? Only don't give me Due South, for I fear I wouldn't do it justice. SOMEDAY, yes, I will have all the episodes and watch them amid a cornucopia of gluttony.
