List five fictional people - from television, movies, books, whatever - that
you had a crush on as a child (or early teens). Then post this on your
LiveJournal so other people can know what a dork you've always been.
1) The The characters in the Trixie Belden novels Had to say that I loved just about all of them. I was totally addicted to this mystery series as a child. Trixie as tomboy sleuth. Honey as her rich, pretty BFF. Jim who was clearly Trixie's permanent almost boyfriend. I also loved Dan the leather jacket clad kid from the wrong side of the tracks. I was never into Nancy Drew or even the Hardy Boys. But I loved Trixie and her gang.
2) I'm just going to copynutmeg3's response here because it sums up what I felt as well. Alec Ramsay, from the Black Stallion books. It was really the Black I loved, but Alec seemed a reasonable way to get to him.
3) Jani and Adam from Madeline Brent's Merlin's Keep Jani was an orphan in Tibet. Adam was a British Soldier. Adventure someplace wholly exotic at the turn of the century. I really loved this book as a kid (and I got a truly odd spurt of glee from the BtVS ep "Fool for Love" when it was set in Shanghai during the Boxer Rebellion because I had such vivid memories of the way that the Boxer Rebellion was represented in another Madeline Brent novel Moonraker's Bride. In fact, finding that you can buy these as used novels on Amazon, I may have to buy them because I read them at the age of 12 or so and I had borrowed them from the Library. They seem to have good reviews on Amazon and I'd be interested to read them again to see if they match my memory. (And it appears that there are a few of the novels by the same author (who apparently was a man writing under the pseudonym "Madeline Brent")
4) The original (Dirk Benedict) Starbuck on the original Battlestar Gallactica.
5) Robert Scopio -- dashing, adventurous, Aussie Spy on General Hospital when I was a kid. (Also loved Duke the Scottish gangster on GH).
