Killed Through Love

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.

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.

Re: DEAD
BOTH of my favorite Firefly characters are dead.

Joss. Dude. No fair.

Re: DEAD
This is what Joss does:

First, he takes a poll in my head.

Then, he looks at his story and asks, "Am I ready to kill this character?"

If the answer is "no," then the character nearly dies and is maimed.

If the answer is "yes," then the character dies IN THE MOST GUT-WRENCHING WAY POSSIBLE.

And in the middle of me crying my guts out, I am grateful that Joss made me emote so much. That bastard makes me grateful for it.

God, I love him.
