As part of our Sexuality and the Geek Week, I thought it would be fun to pose the question of which characters in popular SF/F stories is most worthy of being a romantic partner.
Up first is the series that launched some of the first fanfiction 'ships, Star Trek.
Kirk or Spock, which would be your choice?
*Pros: *Energetic, intelligent, fun-loving with a great sense of humor. Seems to gain nearly superhuman powers if his shirt is ripped. Creative thinker, which might provide some fun in intimate activities.
*Cons: *Imperious and arrogant at times. Relationships come second to his command, as the Enterprise is his true mistress.
*Pros: *Extremely intelligent and loyal. Stronger than the average person and seems to posses a nice singing voice. Plus, the repressed types often let loose in a private setting.
*Cons: *Dedicated to not showing or even admitting to emotions, including love. The need to mate only strikes once every seven years, though apparently being half-human, he can choose differently. Duty comes before love.
What's your choice?
