Fictosexuals

This is a new one on me, but it's apparently a thing:

The act of falling in love with a fictional character. What does GOT think? Healthy imaginary fantasy fun akin to daydreaming or preserve of deeply disturbed individuals? Are you one? Do you know one? Discuss.

Ah yes that fictional character we have conjured here that we have a decent number 9.

Sharp, Royle, ferguson maybe real. But skirt lad is so much more.

I’d have assumed this would have a specific Japanese word describing it

I love him. But he's real. Just my idealisation of him as a no. 9 currently isn't.

Does that make me a semi-on fictosexual?

I must admit my initial thoughts were "probably has a relationship to manga fiction".

From someone who just learned what fiction sex is 5 mins ago from Moyes' basterd. And still unsure.

I'm going to say 100% yes.

When I was about 15 I fell in love with a 16 year old Dutch high jumper that I invented while being driven down to East Sussex in the summer holidays.

I still miss Janneke. I wonder how she's doing.

Slightly on topic, I remember when Avatar came out, people (read:Americans) were suffering depression after because they felt they belonged on Pandora and needed it to exist.

Only depression I had leaving the cinema was that I spent £5 and the best part of 3 hours on that muck.

Both the best and worst set of pixelated cans you'll ever see.
