1. Name 3 of your most favourite fandoms. 2. Name one character of each fandom you particularly like. Tell us why. 3. Name one character of each that you don't like. Tell us why.
1. I've only got two fandoms: Tolkien and Harry Potter
2. My Tolkien favourite is Finrod, mostly because he stubbornly sticks to his vow even though he knows it's going to end badly and because he has some endearing bad qualities despite seeming such a Nice Guy. Plus, he's the friend of humans and he plays the harp. My HP favourite is Remus Lupin, the tortured werewolf who want so much to be Good but is making life very different for himself and others because of his pessimism, self-pity and lack of moral spine.
3. One Tolkien character I really can't stand is Manwe. Too lofty, and not interested enough in the problems of Ilúvatar's creations. Thingol's a good second, thinking only of what he wants to 'own' - either his daughter or a Silmaril. In the HP books, I can't stand Hagrid. Being a big child is all very well, but children learn, and Hagrid never does, nor does he seem willing to.
