Which fictional characters do you wish were real?

I feel we must have addressed this issue before, but I can't seem to find it, so let's just do it again, eh?

Author Carrie Harris has a list on her blog of five book characters she'd like to invite to a party. Which, of course, made me wonder who I'd invite to my own imaginary party...

I'd have to start with Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver from Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City series. Then I think I'd have one of Marian Keyes' female characters, but I'm not sure who without rereading all of her books... I'd quite like Heather Wells from Meg Cabot's Size 12 Is Not Fat series... and then I need a couple of hot men, don't I? Obviously, I'm thinking Mr Darcy, since he's the hottest male character evah, but he might be a bit intense (a bit?), so how about Joe Morelli from Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series and Prince Nicolas from Hester Browne's latest, What the Lady Wants, (he's not actually my type usually, but I fancied him like mad while I was reading the book).

So now, over to you. Which fictional characters would you invite to an imaginary party?

I would have to say the cullen family from the twilight saga. who would not want to hang with a awesome band of vegetarian vampires. i would love becky bloomwood to be my best friend/shopping buddy.

Hi all,

I agree with starsister about Lord Peter, however I need someone from modern times too and that would be Rourke - J.D. Robb- then maybe the Three Just Men - Edgar Wallace. It&#39s my party and I can have the guests be all male - and these are Alpha&#39s if I read them right. Oh what fun!!!

I&#39m most likely have either Meg Cabots Lizzie Nicholas from her Queen of the Babble series so we could have a good gossip or i&#39d have Christian for Paige Toon&#39s Johnny Be Good, but then i might have her first hero Nathan from Lucy in the Sky. I just don&#39t know.

I&#39d have to have Dorothy Sayers&#39 Lord Peter Wimsey - the most attractive male figure in all of literature in my not so humble opinion.

Then Sebastian Flyte from Evelyn waugh&#39s Brideshead Revisited (with Aloysius, of course, but imaginary stuffed animals don&#39t count, do they?)

Miss Abigail Wendover from Georgette Heyer&#39s Black Sheep would definitely be fun to have around. Nancy Astley from Sarah Waters&#39 Tipping the Velvet, so as to have a woman to drool over as well.

And I&#39d love to meet Gustav von Aschenbach from Thomas Mann&#39s Death in Venice - although I&#39m not sure I would dare to speak in his presence.

Thinking it over, i&#39m not sure whether these people would make for a good party, but I&#39d love to have them *daydreaming away*

Obviously we need Witch Baby from Francesca Lia Block, and I for one would love to have a real live Philip Marlow stirring up shit. And damn if it wouldn&#39t be nice to meet Aslan for real, as he&#39s described in the books. Although, come to think of it, it would be kinda awesome to meet Jadis as well, though probably more terrifying than anything.
