Characters: Book/Movie: X-Men: Wolverine aka Logan
What can I say? *g* When it comes to adamantium claws, I'm a hopeless fangirl. Wolverine is the character I have written most in fanfiction. He's the guy I have a four-foot-wide poster of in my bedroom—and he's probably the only character I'll ever go to watch on a theater screen again.
Literature: Dracula by Bram Stoker
This is the wishlisted fanlisting I want most of all. Dracula is, simply put, my lifelong favorite book. I love the story, the characters, the genre, the classic film adaptations. More than that, to me it is the ultimate tale of good against evil, and that's what I love about it most of all.
Movies: Galaxy Quest
As a reformed ex-Trekker, I admire this movie a lot. It pokes fun hilariously at every scifi standby there is; but it also manages to make time for some very real and poignant character development. The growth of Tim Allen's character from has-been to hero is quite inspiring to me.
Movies: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
There could not be a much more fascinating premise to me than a steampunk crossover of Victorian heroes. LXG doesn't quite do it the justice it deserves—but it's still one of less than half a dozen movies made in the last decade that I'm a true fan of, and my second most prolific fanfiction subject.
Movies: X2: X-Men United
This is definitely my favorite non-classic movie. It brought me into my most active fandom, and I'll always remember the way it helped to give me the best summer of my life. (In lieu of this one, I wouldn't mind having the fanlisting for the first X-Men movie; but I'd much prefer X2.)
Mythology: Dragons
I've loved these wonderful creatures of the imagination ever since I was a little girl, when I spent lazy afternoons under an orange tree reading Walter Dean Myers' The Dragon Takes a Wife. Since then, I've spent plenty of money I shouldn't have on dragon figures and dragon jewelry.
Mythology: Werewolves
I've really become quite fascinated by werewolves in the last few years. I'm always interested in movies and stories about them—but even more importantly, I've been taking great enjoyment and satisfaction in writing werewolf characters. I actually find that they're more intriguing to me than vampires.
TV Shows: Hogan's Heroes
I've been a fan of this show for a number of years, and the single fanfiction story I've written about it is still one of the best things I've written. I'm one of those fans who sees so much more than just the comedy of the show; I love the underlying loyalty and courage of the Heroes, too.
