1. The first character I first fell in love with
Morpheus

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
I'm not sure this ever changed, really. These are hard to answer for Sandman, because I love the universe and the texture of story more than the individual characters.

Oh! Barbie! Who was not impressive on first appearance, but whom I adore in her own storyline.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
Hob Gatling

4. The character I love that everyone else hates
I don't know who people hate. I like Rose Walker.

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
n/a

6. The character I would shag anytime
Desire, obviously. It's not like you get a choice about it.

7. The character I'd want to be like
Death.

8. The character I'd slap
The Corinthian, if he wouldn't kill me.

9. A pairing that I love
I'm not into this fandom for pairings, really. I liked Nuala's crush on Morpheus. If we're allowing expansions on the universe, I adored Rieber's Auberon/Titania, because it was so fucked up, and Tim Hunter/Molly, before it got so fucked up.

10. A pairing that I despise
Can't think of any off the top of my head, but I'm sure some exist.
