Apparently there's this guy in Japan who wants change the law so he can marry a comic book character. Which prompted The Scotsman's literary columnist to express an interest in Sasha Bordeaux and Flora MacIvor from Waverley (who isn't a comic book character - yet, but give Alan Grant and Cam Kennedy time), before aknowledging that Sasha's in a relationship with Mr Terrific, and Flora's dead.
So, which fictional character would you like to marry? It's a question I'm struggling with because most of my favourite female characters are people I'd find deeply intimidating if I actually met them. Hawkgirl, Susan Sto Helit, Geneviève Dieudonné... Thursday Next is possibly the least scary, but she's married to Landen.

I've always wanted to date Willie Garvin, but he's definitely not long term material. In fact, you need to not invest emotionally at all to make that one work.
Thing is, the flaws, jobs and storylines that make people interesting characters are also very often things that make it an eminently bad idea to get involved with them.
