I want to play a little game. It's called "Did Em Kill A Character In Your Fandom?" As many of you are well aware, I have a tendency to fall in love with characters who are doomed. Almost all of my favorite characters die. That's not even a spoiler any more, it's just a pattern. Thinking about this has made me wonder exactly how many characters I've killed through love. So, the "game."

1. Name a fandom (one at a time, please; feel free to name anything and I'll tell you if I've seen it).

2. I will respond with my favorite character and whether or not that character dies in canon. (I will screen my replies with the character names to hopefully avoid spoilers.)

3. At the end of this "game" I'll count fandoms and characters and determine how many characters I've killed through love.

One fandom per reply?

I know most of your favorite Doomed Loves.

Ok, if you mean one fandom per reply: Highlander. That's one I know you've seen, but haven't talked much about.

I do mean one fandom per reply, but you can reply again with a different fandom later. Y'know, rather than have one person ~~you~~ name 12 fandoms; more people can play.

I actually haven't finished watching Highlander, but my favorite character has died, or I know he will, I forget.

OMG I am the SAME WAY! No lie, every single character I like dies first. Or dies in general, but more often then not he/she dies first.

Try Firefly.

And I don't think he's totally died before, has he? I know Stargate is notorious for bringing people back from the dead, but I don't think he's even kind of died (yet).

Though this one isn't totally fair since I didn't really love him until the prequels.

However, that's why I'm leaving a second character!

Possibly Not Dead?

I actually stopped watching X-Files around season 7, so I'm not sure what fate befell my beloved. But I think there was a bit of "presumed dead" at one point.

(If any X-Files fans want to confirm or deny, I won't consider it a spoiler unless you tell me details.)

My favorite characters in Xena aren't like my favorites in my obsessive fandoms, I just kind of like these characters more than the others.

AND YET, character 1 is dead by the end of the series.

You know, the first three fandoms that popped into my head didn't count, mostly because the people in two of them were already dead. :p

Doctor Who?
