In honor of Valentine’s Day, as thoughts turn to romance, we ask:
Have you ever had a crush on a character from a science fiction or fantasy novel?
If so, tell us who it is and why you like them so much.
One commenter who comes clean chooses a book from our stacks or a $5 Amazon gift card.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

FanLit is a hobby for us, but it costs us money to run the site. You can help by using our links to purchase books at Amazon. Just click on our images of the book covers. It won't cost you any extra, but FanLit will get a referral fee for anything you buy (not just books). We use this money to pay for our domain names, hosting, software, and mailing books to giveaway winners. Thank you!
We’re updating our theme, so things may be a little messy or slow until we’re finished. Thank you for being patient with us!
Usually, I know better than to “fall in love” with a character, but the protagonist on the cover of “The Bladed Faith” by David Dalglish has me “thirsty” for him!
I’ve never had a crush on a character in a book
I always thought Ozma of Oz was very cool because she was so very, very beautiful and elegant.
Abso flipping lately. Miles Vorkosigan from the Lois McMaster Bujold series. He’s smart and fun and very kind. He also has a great sense of humor and doesn’t take himself too seriously. There are others but I’ll leave it at that for now.
I’ve only read Shards of Honor at this point, so I can say that Aral Vorkosigan is pretty hot, too :)
I’ve had too many to count, but Ben from the Mercy Thompson series stands out. He acts like a bad boy but stands up for what’s right and defends his friends. And his profanity is hilarious.
I know it’s basic, but Kaladin Stormblessed is in fact my love. Brandon Sanderson’s characters feel all too real.
I liked Jake in Animorphs.
I sympathized with Ayla in “Clan of the Cave Bear”.
I’m surprised Jamie Fraser hasn’t been mentioned.
