Leah wrote about the length of obsession with a character being generally 4 years and not exceeding 8 years in her experience.
If Lyst association counts, then I would be an exception; I'm certainly up to 20 years by now.
I guess I am too. I started watching "Doctor Who" at my parents' knee, and
if anything I'm more obsessed by the character now
than then (B7 came later, but it's still been more than just 8 years).
I was enchanted by B7 when it was shown on Dutch TV in the early eighties. I never forgot the series, and when a few years ago on holiday in London I came upon the videotapes, I bought them at once.
Funnily, the first time round my favourites had been Blake, Vila and Travis I, and only now did I become aware of Avon's charms. But although he is now my favourite character, I don't feel any longing to mate with him, or to have his child. :-)
