Beatrice, from Much Ado About Nothing (the play, not any of the movies)
Pelagia, from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (book, not movie)
Lindsay, from Freaks and Geeks.
I’m sure I’ll have others…
That reminds me…
Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird
Ooo, good answer.
“Well, I could go with Betty, but I’d be thinking of Wilma!”
:dubious:
Longest running - since I was five - Robin Hood, especially as played by Errol Flynn. (Back off, Shirley! 
)
Spike - ummm!
Just about any other vampire too. Especially Ann Rice’s.
Aragorn, book version, since I was seventeen. Not that there’s anything wrong with Viggo…
Ideally Dagny Taggart in ATLAS SHRUGGED, realistically- her SIL Cheryl (I could have helped her for I am Eddie Willers, who needed a good attainable woman.)
Mina Harker in the book DRACULA
Miranda Otto’s Eowyn in LOTR
Willow Rosenberg
Lucy Camden on 7th Heaven (in her non-insane moments)
Frodo, as played by Elijah Wood.
Gabrielle from Xena. Lord. Failing that, Xena from Xena.
Esmerelda from the Disney version of Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Carrot or Angua from the Discworld books. I wouldn’t mind both of them. Do polyamoric relationships count?
Not half - every man’s fantasy.
Terribly sorry, but I don’t understand what this means.
Oh, I don’t know, maybe NOT BEING EVIL.
How about Daphne’s body with Velma’s personality? (Except keep the glasses; glasses are sexy.)
BTW, anyone else have a thing for Mr. Kotter’s wife?
Nope. That baggy orange sweater barely concealed a fine body, and I like the short brown hair.
Death
(not DEATH***** - what were you thinking?)
and Delerium from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series.
Also Molly Millions (or whatever she’s called) Who crops up in more than one William Gibson book.
*****Though I could go for his granddaughter Susan
All the men I’ve fallen in love with have turned out to be fictional characters.
Ron Weasley, from the books moreso - the character’s more developed in them.
And I’m 27.
Another Darcy fan, both of 'em, but only as played by Colin Firth. Yes, I used to love pre-Colin Darcy, but now that I’ve seen Colin Darcy, nothing else will do.
The Jeremy Northam character from “The Perfect Husband.”
The Sherlock Holmes from Laurie King’s novels.
Reepicheep. (So I’m weird. Sue me!)
Thomas Magnum.
Rube from “Dead Like Me.” Okay, so I think Mandy Patinkin is forty kinds of hot. Sue me again!
But the biggie of all big fictional loves for me is Lord Peter Wimsey. How much do I want to be Harriet Vane? Let me count the ways…
There’s a lotta these, and I’m not gonna be able to remember them all…
Television
Willow, gotta go with Willow - Seasons 1-4, before she lost the geekiness almost entirely. By the same token, Winnifred Burkle from Angel. In the Star Trek milieu - I can see the appeal of the Daxes (both Ezri and Jadzia) but in the Star Trek overall competition I’m going with either Hoshi (of Enterprise) or, for an older-woman sort, Bev Crusher. Apparently, I like red hair.
Animation
Excel Excel, Gadget Hackwrench - both good choices already mentioned. I’m (of course) a fan of Jessica Rabbit. Though I might well contest the OP for Dot Warner, based purely on her personality.
Movies
Leeloo Dallas Multipass. 
Mia Kirshner as anybody.
Novels
Having recently finished the Harry Potter series, I admit that I hope strongly for a greater role for Nymphadora Tonks in the next one.
Comic Books
I like this incarnation of Rogue - from the comics - specifically, the Jim-Lee era Rogue, but not so much the movie Rogue. Babs Gordon, AKA Oracle.
Aunt Betsey and the Peggottys in “David Copperfield.” Oh, and Uriah Heep, too.
Malachi Constant/Unk in “Sirens of Titan”
Estella in the movie “Sirens” (no relation to the above)
Amos and Judith Starkadder in “Cold Comfort Farm”
Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies (Emily Watson makes her more interesting than the books do)
Lady MacBeth
Doctor Who (Tom Baker, Peter Davison; Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton somewhat less)
Tim Canterbury from The Office
Lloyd Dobbler from Say Anything
Tim Bayliss from Homicide: Life on the Street
Remus Lupin from the Harry Potter books (although he is also quite yummy in the film)
Sam Lowry from Brazil
Rob Gordon from High Fidelity (the movie - I haven’t read the book yet)
Michael Bolton from Office Space
And one so cliched I can’t believe no one mentioned it:
Holden Caulfield from Catcher in the Rye
I’ve been in love with King Arthur & **Lancelot ** since I was about ten. I’m just like Guinevere.
Also Aragorn, from the books.
I’ve had a deep and abiding love for **knights ** in general all my life, so any man who acts like the stereotype of a knight (chivalrous, honest, etc.) pretty much gets my vote. Yes, I know real knights weren’t like that.
I also have always had love for Arjun, from Hindu mythology. My very first D&D charcter was named Arjun, and I tried to portray his goodness and desire to always do right.
As far as ones I find sexy? Well I play mostly male characters in D&D, and I’m female. Not a problem except when I inadvertently find I’m (as in Elenia) attracted to some of my male NPCs. I think it throws the DM off as I’m the only female player.
Ah, sing out Louise… sing it to the rafters.
Limiting it to gay characters and sticking to screen, I would go with
Howard Brackett (Kevin Kline’s character from In & Out), though his deeply-closeted-at-40 aspect bothers me
Bill Truitt (Martin Donovan’s widowed schoolteacher in Opposite of Sex)
George Hanson (Paul Rudd’s character in Object of My Affection, though pretty much any Paul Rudd character would do for lust)
The Faerie Cluracan from SANDMAN
Emmett from Queer as Folk
For lust, Brian Kinney & Ethan the violinist from Queer as Folk, any Johnny Depp character regardless of sexual orientation with the exception of Edward Scissorhands, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Arthur Rimbaud.
