The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Dawn, definitely.
The character everyone else loves that I don't: I can't stand Joyce.
The character I love that everyone else hates: I like Xander a lot more than most people in our corner of fandom do. I think he has many, many substantive flaws, but I can understand many of his choices, even if I don't agree with them, and I think he matured during the show, as opposed to regressing.
The character I used to love but don't any longer: After getting into fandom and reading meta, I don't love Willow nearly as much as I used to.
The character I would shag anytime: Spike Spike Spike Spike Spike, as long as Buffy didn't mind.
The character I'd want to be like: Willow in S1-3, Buffy in S4-7.
The character I'd slap: Almost everyone at some point. Spike in "Dead Things," Willow in all of S6, Xander a LOT but probably the most in "Entropy," Dawn in "Empty Places," Giles in "Two To Go"/"Grave," Riley in "As You Were," Oz in "Wild At Heart."
My five favorite characters: Spike, Buffy, Anya. I guess Willow and Xander, although there are huge chunks of the show where I really dislike them.
My five least favorite characters: Riley, Angel, Joyce, Faith (though it's more ambivalence than dislike), Giles in S6/S7
My deep dark fandom secret: I really don't like Buffy in S2 and S3. I have a very hard time seeing the chemistry between Spike and Dru.
The other fandoms I could talk a lot about are AtS, Star Trek, HIMYM, Bones, Cougar Town, The Big Bang Theory, Arrested Development, Firefly, and S1 of SPN. To a lesser degree, I could also talk about Dollhouse and BSG. :)

I'd be up for SPN S1, if you thought you could actually find something to say for all the questions. One of the difficulties with early SPN is that there are so few recurring characters.
*icon chosen just for you!*
no subject
Hmm, I will give SPN my best shot, despite the sad lack of recurring characters.
The first character I fell in love with: Dean
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Um...I like Sam much more than I used to.
The character everyone else loves that I don't: Um...John?
The character I love that everyone else hates: I don't think there is one yet.
The character I used to love but don't any longer: Ditto.
The character I would shag anytime: Dean, although Sam wouldn't exactly be a trial. *g*
The character I'd want to be like: Hmm hmm hmm, I actually don't know. Both boys have traits I admire but also traits I really dislike. I'd want to have Dean's courage and I'd want to have Sam's independence.
The character I'd slap: John
My five favorite characters: Lol. Dean, Sam.
My five least favorite characters: Hah. I, uh, don't care much for John, but by now it's more apathy than dislike.
My deep dark fandom secret: Possibly the current correct answer for this is a big fat N/A, but I do happen to buy Sam's angst over Jess, despite the fact that she was on the show for five minutes.
Well that was probably not very interesting. I watched "Salvation" last night. That was interesting!
no subject
Already? It took me a lot longer to warm up to him, although I think I'd like him fine in S1 now if I went back and rewatched.
I do happen to buy Sam's angst over Jess, despite the fact that she was on the show for five minutes.
Yeah. I like Jess a whole lot better in theory than execution; I've read some really fabulous fic that focused on her that's made me love her.
I watched "Salvation" last night. That was interesting!
Yay yay! Salvation is pretty excellent (although I was mad that we introduced those other hunter characters just to kill them two minutes later). Lots of good characters stuff there, and good plotty stuff. Can't wait to read your review!
no subject
To be fair, I think I am looking for reasons to like him, because I think I would have given up on SPN if I consistently disliked or was apathetic about one of the two characters. Sam doesn't inspire passion in me the way Dean does, but analytically, I can relate to him, and I appreciate the way he contrasts Dean, such as by not kowtowing to John in earlier episodes. The increasing range of Jared's very fine acting chops has also helped a ton.
Posted it yesterday morning! :) http://gryfndor-godess.livejournal.com/103899.html

OMG YES. *fist-bump*

You like Xander, too? Sweet!

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Snape
The character everyone else loves that I don't: Lupin
The character I love that everyone else hates: I don't know which characters are hated by fandom, other than Ginny, so I'll say: I truly love Harry himself, and I know he gets a lot of flak. He is my hero, I would marry him, etc.
The character I used to love but don't any longer: Draco (mostly because way back when I had a huge crush on Tom Felton)
The character I would shag anytime: Harry
The character I'd want to be like: Hermione
The character I'd slap: Umbridge.
My five favorite characters: Harry, Hermione, Ron, Neville, Fred & George
My five least favorite characters: Umbridge times infinity. Then, I suppose, Voldemort, Bellatrix, Greyback, Fudge.
My deep dark fandom secret: Um...not sure if this counts, but there are a lot of times, particularly in GoF and DH, when I want to slap the stuffing out of Ron, too.

The first character I fell in love with: Probably Michael, although I think I fell in love with the show before falling in love with any specific character.
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Buster
The character everyone else loves that I don't: I don't know anything about AD fandom, but I will say I don't like Tobias and I'm not a big fan of Lindsay either. For recurring characters, I think Sitwell is boring.
The character I love that everyone else hates: Again, I don't know anything about AD fandom, but if it's anything like HP fandom, where some people tend to dislike the Hero, I will say that I absolutely adore Michael himself.
The character I used to love but don't any longer: Nobody, I think.
The character I would shag anytime: Michael
The character I'd want to be like: Michael; Maeby.
The character I'd slap: George Sr.
My five favorite characters: Michael, Lucille, Maeby, George Michael, Buster
My five least favorite characters: Tobias, George Sr., Oscar...I pretty much love everyone else.
My deep dark fandom secret: I seriously ship George Michael/Maeby, but more deeply and darkly than that, the possibility of Michael/Lindsay after S3 does not actually appall me nearly as much as it should.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Probably Jayne, of whom I grew much more fond in "Serenity."
The character everyone else loves that I don't: Mal
The character I love that everyone else hates: Umm...I don't know whom people hate.
The character I used to love but don't any longer: I don't think there's anyone I stopped loving, although I was very apathetic about Book in "Serenity" compared to the show.
The character I would shag anytime: Simon
The character I'd want to be like: Simon, because he's committed to family above all else, intelligent, and courageous, despite not being a warrior.
The character I'd slap: Mal
My five favorite characters: Simon, Kaylee, Jayne, Wash, River
My five least favorite characters: Mal, Book, Inara
My deep dark fandom secret: I don't care for Zoe. I don't dislike her, per se, but I dislike her diehard allegiance to Mal, and I think she's overrated.
And this is definitely blasphemous to some people: I think Firefly is overrated, too.
no subject
On the bright side: Yay Simon and Jayne!
no subject
That is EXACTLY how I feel!!
