I’ll join you at the senior table, sjm —-

My very first MAJOR t.v. fancrush was Ham Tyler in the original “V.” I recently got the series on DVD and found I can still get all oogly over his black-clad badassery.

Avon in “Blake’s 7.” With a secondary crush on the second incarnation of Travis in that series.

My Doctor Who was Tom Baker and in my eyes there will never be another. Okay I’ll make some allowances for Peter Davidson but that was a fleeting thing.

Serious, longstanding and ongoing one-sided t.v. love affair with both John Locke and Benjamin Linus from “Lost.” The only slash ship I have obsessed over, partly because I could just never choose between them!

And of course on “Once,” I fell madly in love with Rumpelstiltskin after seeing Skin Deep. And I have recently discovered a fangirly appreciation for Archie. Please PLEASE don’t turn him back into a cricket!!

You youngsters have to remember that in the dark days before the internet, non-traditional fancrushes could be a lonely business. I could never admit to my middle school friends that I didn’t give a flying flip about Scott Baio or Shawn Cassidy. Fanfiction was passed around in xeroxed copies that were collated and stapled together in somebody’s living room and then hawked at sci-fi conventions! (Oh, that reminds me of my earliest and quite G-rated crush on Dr. McCoy in Star Trek! I met DeForrest Kelley at a con one time and thought I would die. 😀 )
