Have you ever 'swooned' for a fictional character?

Or whatever the guy version of that is called ?

If memory served it has happened to me a few times during puberty ages (for obvious reasons) but past those years I don't recall any serious times like that.

Most of them are pretty silly ones (April O Niel for example) but I don't think I ever found myself wishing they were real. (I've always been in the I don't wish they were real, but 100% if they were I'd hang with them)

These days there are TONS of characters (Including my own) that I'd want to just hang out with? But like, not that many I'd get romantically involved with. A lot of the fictional characters I do like are like, slightly high energy types, for some reason.

Oh, goodness yes. I was given Dragonflight at the age of nine and I never stood a chance. I've got a very long list of literary hotness, and I add to it all the time. And I will admit to the utter delight of readers saying one of our guys has been added to their lists. It's making a connection with the reader across the page.

Swooning for me is not limited to protagonists. In fact, it's worse, and I know a legion of readers who cheerfully debate each other about some psychopath's inner workings and their hidden vulnerabilities. It's pure candy.

And I am so incredibly not the only one who would turn Evil Princess if the right character wiggled a finger at me. lol

I think this may have reached epidemic levels of swoon, as seen below.

Heh I don't think my 'swooning' would be quite to that level haha
There are a handful of characters who I'd absolutely do 'things' with
BUT
I don't think many of them are all that naughty. At least I don't think so ? I suppose a super christian could somehow twist cuddling and watching horror movies as 'naughty' because of the content of those movies but ? lol I mean one of my characters has plenty of potions with some uhhh interesting effects.
but most of them are temporary. (and if they're not she typically has an antidote already baked so why not)
