Thieving a meme from wanderlustlover!

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/whatever that you have been dorkily in love with at some point or other. (This is a randomly chosen and by no means complete list, as you all know very well.)

2) Have your f-list guess your favorite character/member from each item. (Some of these will be total gimmes, I am well aware! I am not exactly unpredictable . . .)

3) When someone guesses correctly, strikethrough the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

I AM PROBABLY WRONG ABOUT ALL OF THESE.

3. The dude from the second book, uh. I don't remember his name. The one who sold fish and made puns about the people ruling the country! (All I remember is "Hadd-hadd-haddock!"
5. Sophie!
20. Meg!

[skygiants]

IN ACTUAL FACT YOU ARE NOT, which is especially impressive seeing as how you could not remember one of their names! *laughing* Right on Mitt and Sophie; wrong on Meg. (I do not expect anyone to guess that one, though.)

[lunamystic]

*PONDERS*

8) The Baker's Wife?

20) I can't NOT guess. Um.

Raoul? CARLOTTA?

I don't know. :D

[skygiants]

8. GOOD GUESS! :D

20. Hahahaha I will feel SO TRIUMPHANT if I manage to stump everyone. >:D Carlotta is an excellent guess though! But alas no.

[oneechan19.livejournal.com]

This is all tricky! It's like, is her favorite character the one she plays or not? I have no idea! Soooo, guesses!

1. Fakir
8. The Prince Never mind!
15. Izumi
20. Madam Giry!

[skygiants]

*giggles* Sometimes it is! SOMETIMES IT IS NOT. YOU'LL NEVER KNOW. (Well, until someone guesses correctly, at which point it becomes less of a secret . . .)

1. I love him, but not quite!
15. GOT IT IN ONE. :D
20. Nope!

[varadia]

2. Sokka?

7. Dave?

11. Joseph?

12. Jesse?

16. Noser?

17. Tanrid?

18. The guy that likes birds? With the glasses?

19. FRANCIS SULLIVAN!!!!!

20. Clearly it's The Phantom (tweets)

[skygiants]

You make many extremely excellent guesses! (This is probably helped by the fact that we were talking about many of these last night . . .)

2. Yes!

7. Yes again!

11. Aaand triple play. :D

12. Good guess, but no!

13. A close second, but again no!

14. Yes! (Although I will leave it a little bit open, since there are at least two other characters who could fit the bill here.)

18. Nope, but it makes me laugh that you can't remember most of their names either. >.> (Can I remember the name of my favorite character without looking it up? NO I CANNOT.)

19. SOMEHOW I THINK NOT

20. . . . it might have been if I had thought of that while I was making this list. *dies* However: no.

[gramarye1971]

I have such a weird feeling that you've mentioned your favourite Phantom character to me before, but I can't remember if you did or I just imagined it. So I'm going to take a wild guess and say that it's Raoul's older brother (the Comte de Chagny).

[skygiants]

AN EXCELLENT GUESS. *awards you the grand prize!* :D

[winding_path]

10. Olive?
20. Madame Giry?

[skygiants]

Very good guesses both, but nope! (You were super close with Olive, though.)

[magwana.livejournal.com]

Wild, stabby guesses:

10. Olive

15. Winry

16. Wendy

[skygiants]

Not quite on 10 and 15 (though I do love them both), but 16 is absolutely right! :D

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

Princess Tutu has to be Rue, no?

[skygiants]

It does indeed. :D Good guess!

[mawombat.livejournal.com]

well, he's not MY favorite character, but every other Dunnettophile seems to love Francis Crawford(LYMOND!), so I'll guess that.

[skygiants]

Hah! There are two characters I would accept in response to that, but he is definitely not one of them. Even when I was fourteen and first falling in love with the books, I liked him but he was a liiiittle too much of a angsty drama king for me. *giggling*

[mawombat.livejournal.com]

12. The Sarah Connor Chronicles

uh Kyle Reese's brother? or Serenity girl.

[skygiants]

Neither one! :D (My character preferences are strange sometimes.)

20th Century Boys

[ojuzu.livejournal.com]

I am going to say either Yukiji or Kenji. :D

I so need to watch Capital Scandal . . .

Re: 20th Century Boys

[skygiants]

Kenji it is! With Yukiji a close runner-up. (Though now I have read volume 5, Kanna is creeping up there also.)

YOU DO IT IS AMAZING. So much badass! SEE ICON.

[rahkan.livejournal.com]

Number 9 - Hunchback - Gringoire. Check it.

[skygiants]

Close but no cigar!

(OH HEY GUESS WHAT. I get to work an event with Brian Francis Slattery next week! I thought of you.)

[wakeupnew]

4. Capital Scandal is the girl! The strong lady whose name I don't remember. All I remember about her was she was strong and kickass and traditional.

12. Jessie?

14. Tamaki?

[skygiants]

4. Capital Scandal is a girl, but I can't tell from your description which girl you mean because they are both kickass! But I think you are talking about the one who is awesome but not my favorite. *laughing* Do you mean the bookstore owner?

12 and 14 are both good guesses, but not quite. :D

[saphyria.livejournal.com]

19. NEVER FEAR, BROOKLYN IS HERE!

:D?

[skygiants]

INDEED. >:D >:D >:D

[genarti]

12. Ellison? Wait, no no. John Henry?

14. Kyouya?

17. Inda: I am guessing Jeje! And also Cherry-Stripe. And... I will try, greedily, for all three. Hrm. Tdor?

[skygiants]

12. Wait, no no yes you are right, it is John Henry. *laughing*

14. Yes! I thought this would be one of the first ones guessed, I have certainly talked about it enough.

17. Shockingly, you are wrong about two out of the three! You got Cherry-Stripe, though.

[jothra]

...how many guesses do I get for The Great Escape? There are a lot of them.

[skygiants]

As many as you like! I am not playing strict. :D

My last try

[rahkan.livejournal.com]

9 - Notre Dame de Paris - Clopin...

Re: My last try

[skygiants]

Well played, sir!

[mawombat.livejournal.com]

c'mon bookelfe you can totally guess my fave character for the lymond chronicles on my meme! You can do it!
