fennecgirl Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Demiromantics, I have a question for you. Have you ever found yourself crushing on a fictional character? I'm just curious because people can often become emotionally attached to the main character(s) of a book/movie/TV show/etc. For demiromantics, does this ever lead to romantic feelings toward a fictional character like it sometimes can for romantics? Or do you never feel romantic attraction to fictional characters, despite that emotional connection, because you don't (and can't) have a personal relationship with them?

Oddplume Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I've heard that it isn't uncommon for this to happen. Good fictional characters tend to be designed to be relate-able, and yet extraordinary at the same time. Just because a character doesn't really exist, doesn't necessarily mean people can't imagine a relationship with that character *cough*fanfiction*cough*. I'm not dumping on such a thing as a little innocent author insertion fanfiction is far preferable to the artists who heavily embrace rule 34. Link to post Share on other sites
Philip027 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 It hasn't happened with me, and I'm quite confident it never will. I don't connect with fiction THAT well, which is probably part of why most tv/books/whatever bore me. Link to post Share on other sites
