Top 10: Heroes/Heroines
Oh, what a question! Okay from the top of my head (I'll probably do a proper list later after everyone's put some down - don't want to miss anyone!), heroines I'd say:Cassie Palmer, Mercy Thompson, Dory Basarab, Cat, Katniss, Kate Daniels, Rose Hathaway, the girl from Hex Hall, Jaz Parks, Anna from A&O, Downside Ghosts girl (why can't I remember her name? my mind has gone blank, but she's on the list even though she's a druggie, she's still awesome), Raine Benares (only read one book but she seems cool) and Joanne from Weather Wardens (ditto).
And heroes? I'm not sure how long this will get:
Bones, Pritkin, Louis-Cesare, Mircea Basarab, Adam Hauptman, Curran, Dimitri blahsjdnak, Charles, all the BDB (well I wouldn't want to leave anyone out now would I?), Terrible, Barrons, Harry Potter (although not for sexual reasons), Vayl, and Jamie Fraser (even though right now I'm not that happy with him).
I think I'll neaten that list up a bit later and find out their names and put a link where they're from :)

LOL Josie "Dimitri blahsjdnak" which Dimitri would that be? Lord, but authors do love that name! ;)Same for you, Mariya, just spotted one on your list too.
Dimitri from Vampire Academy lol. Is there important ::read amaxingly hot:: Dimitri's that I'm missing??
I figured he was the D you were referring to, and Mariya too most likely, but had to ask. The only other D I've really liked was in Caitlin Kittredge's Nocturne City series. He was a shifter (wolf) though. ;)

How'd I forget Clay??? See, KA, it's been TOO long since we've had an Elena & Clay book! That's what happens. :p
I would'a, but I have a tendency to fall for those I'm reading or have recently read. I try to remember my all-times, but it always ends up that way for me.I also really like Anna, Miki & Jenny. :D
Oooh so many good choices here!Favorite heroes?
Eidolon - Demonica
Vishous - BDB
Sabin - LOTU
Rehvenge - BDB
Conall - Demonica
Charles - Alpha & Omega
Raphael - Guild Hunter
And the ladies?
Idess - Demonica
Xhex - BDB
Anna - Alpha & Omega
Elise - Midnight Breed
Right?! That's why my list is ever changing. I seem to quite the hero slut, always fallin' for the dudes I'm currently reading about. But, you're right, Clay and some others should be firm members of my Top10 list(s) and just .... forgot. Because their writers have starved us of them for too long! LOL! Yeah, it's all their fault. hehe
Lol, I hear you, I'm quite the hero ho' myself ;). I probably should start a spreadsheet to keep track of all of them, lol. But you're right, it is all the writers fault for not giving us enough of our faves lol.
Don't say spreadsheet! I have SO many right now and would be liable to create another one "Hot Hunky Heroes" LOL! ;)
And you know you probably will now that you've got the idea buzzin around your head!Well, I cannot decide on just ten...ten of one and ten of the other is probably doable...but ONLY ten...Judithe throws up her hands in despair and slinks off again.
I love these types of lists because I see names I haven't seen in a while as well as names I've never heard of.For example, Lucien from LOTU! I love Lucy!! I think I need to hold the book tonight when I get home.
Then there's the other side I was talking about. The side that has no idea who some of the people on the lists are.
For example, Adam Hauptman. Who?
I'll go look him up...
:O...
Adam Hauptman?? He is only the sexiest most amazing alpha werewolf ever to grace the pages of a book! From Mercy Thompson series. Go! Quick, go meet him!!
Although I haven't met this 'Lucian' you speak of, so I will go and introduce myself to him ;)
And lol @ "need to hold the book"
I looked Mr. Hauptman up. We exchanged numbers and are going for coffee soon. ;)Anyway, I realized I've had him on my bookshelves for a while. And not only that, I think I had a premonition of an introduction, aka drool-fest, for later this year because the series is on my "Better Late Than Never" reading list.

This will be another hard one for me. I'll have to really think about my list before I post.
So, which are your 10 favorites? You can list 5 for each or 10 for each or split the 10 anyway you'd like.
