How to Make a Fictional Character Your Bf/Gf

Now, I hope we all know that you really can't be the boyfriend/girlfriend of a fictional character. But this page is here to make you, the characters #1 fan, feel as if you are just that. It's fun, creative and dedicates time to that one special someone that's too perfect to exist.

You spend so much time watching their movie or reading the book they're in or playing their video game etc. There's no doubt that you have a pretty vivid idea of what your fictional crush looks like. So why not try and take that lovely image and put it down on paper. If you practice drawing them often enough, you'll be able to draw them whenever you want.

Once you've mastered that, try to draw yourself. Be true to what you think you look like, make sure you believe the person in the drawing is you. Then draw you and your crush character together. It doesn't even have to be fancy at first. Start by putting you and them on the same sheet of paper at least. Whatever you think you two might do if you ever met now can be drawn. Be as creative as you want.

Not the artistic type? You can never go wrong with fan fiction! Fan fiction is exactly what the name implies. A story written by a fan of a movie/book/TV show etc. including the characters from that movie/book/TV show etc.

Find some pictures of your fictional crush or take the ones you've drawn and hang them up in your room someplace out in the open to show your full commitment to your love. You may ehance this special place of worship with any memorbilia you may have of whatever form of media they may be from.

If you don't like drawing or writing you can try to do some other things that are less complicated then fanfictions. For example, (and this is fun to do when you get bored) start writing a letter to your crushy saying all the things you would say if it really was going to be forwarded to them. Then place it in an envelope and write out the address of your fictional crushs' residence. Make it specific like for example, if your crush was Peter Pan the letter would be written out to 'Second Star To The Right, Neverland, Lost Boys' Tree.' Next you answer you're own letters as your fictional crush. (Who knows them better than you?) Put these in envelopes and fill out your own address on them. Do not discard these special notes between the two of you. You can keep these letters in the place in your room that you've dedicated to your beloved.

The same can be done with e-mails or IMs. You may write them out and then save them on Microsoft Works or where ever you save typed documents. You can also print these out and store them in the 'shrine' you've cultivated in your room.

If your crush is one of those unimportant characters with an obscure past or has no past at all, take the time to develop your opinion of how they came to be the wonderful and totally crushworthy person they are today. Don't forget to try and write it down. Be as specific as your imagination allows.

For those days when you're feeling bold, look around at some of the things you have that remind you of them. It may be something crazy and unique like a plushy of that character or a hat that you bought because it looks like the one he/she wears. It can be practically anything. Take that item and carry it around with you when you're out. Sure people may stare if a person is pushing an Harry Potter plushy where a baby sits in a shopping carriage at the grocery store. Your friends and family will see you as 'Mrs. Potter.'

If your crush is an animated character or a character from a live action film, find an item from the 'shrine' that you wouldn't mind being written on and have the voice actor/actor sign it. It might not be so hard to actually meet this person. If you know an address you can send it to, send the item and a note saying you want it signed.

Tips

• It doesn't stop here. The sky's the limit. There are many advantages to having a fictional boyfriend/girlfriend, over having a real one.

Warnings

• You may find one day that liking a fictional someone can be unfullfilling. Don't sulk about it. Try getting out there and finding a real bf/gf. Who knows? They might even be close to the special character you used to lust over.
• Don't actually send these written letters if you think they might get to someone who lives in the area you've written to. Those letters are yours to keep.
• When writing fan fiction try not to create a character that is 'completely perfect.' You may believe that the character you're crushing on is perfect but think about it. Are they really? Your fictional crush has flaws as does everyone else. Be realistic and make the character yourself.
• Be careful doing this in a fanfition if you plan on posting it online. I do not recomend that you write about yourself in detail and then post it where any one can find it on the internet.
