I've just recently become a Naruto fan. I'm not really into Anime that much but I have friends who are totally into the series and they got me into it. I still have a lot to catch up on though since I'm getting such a late start so I have to watch out for spoilers. Also I only watch the Japanese Subbed episodes of Naruto now. The reason for this is because my friends have the Japanese verisons and DVD so I got used to it and now when I watch the English version it sounds weird to me. Also when I watch online they are subbed as well.

Characters:
Sabaku no Gaara
--I can't help but feel sorry for him because of his past and the way he grew up with no one to love him. The younger version of Gaara is so adorable especially when he has his teddy bear. It's so cute. He's also powerful and when he fights he makes it look almost effort-less.

Uchiha Sasuke
--Again, his past it's so sad how he always wanted to be like his other brother Itachi and then one day Itachi kills the entire clan except for Sasuke. Also he has a need to always be the best like when he fought Naruto and he wouldn't call him his equal even though Naruto is stronger and has more potential than him. It's like Sasuke is constantly comparing himself to others and he feels he will never accomplish his goal if he is second best. Something I can easily relate to because I feel like my parents are always comparing me to others.

Inuzuka Kiba
--I like his companionship with Akamaru. I think it's cool how his family trains with dogs. Plus he's a cute character.

Nara Shikamaru
--To me Shikamaru seems to be the most "normal" of them all. I like his attitude and the fact that his strength is his ability to strategize and analyze rather that just power alone. Another thing I like about him is how he made friends with Choji when no one else wanted to. My favorite episode of Shikamaru is when he is talking about what he wanted in his future, wife, kids, ect.

Temari
--Out of all the female characters she's definatly my favorite. She's a really strong ninja and as a girl I like that she's not another boy crazy character. She's got an attitude and she can hold her own in a fight.

Parings:
Shikamaru & Temari
--Just because.. lol. This couple is one I can truely picture having a furture.

Gaara & Hinata
--I love Gaara and Hinata is cute too. I like the idea of how a how a shy, quiet girl can get through to him even though he seems to be a cold-hearted monster.

Kiba & Hinata
--Kiba's always been watching over her. I think they would make a cute couple.

Sasuke & Sakura
--Sasuke is one of my favorite Naruto characters so that explains why I like this couple. I don't really like Sakura that much but I'd rather see Sasuke with Sakura than any other girl.

Well I used to watch this along time ago and I haven't really kept up with it. Now I only read it when I can't find other fanfics that interest me. I pretty much like the original digidestined the best but Davis is pretty cool too. Also I like most of the characters better when they grew up a little more.

Parings:
Matt & Tai
--One of the only yaoi parings I actually read. It's got the whole brotherly bond thing. I like that. Some stories are really cute though I hate how Sora is always getting in the way. Plus for an anime character, Matt is hot! lol.

TK & Kari
--This couple is awesome too. They seem so innocent like.

Yeah I used to watch this too mostly because my cousin loved it and he always wanted to play so I watched it so I could talk to him about it. lol. At the time it was one of the only things I could bond with him with. Just a side note, my cousin is eight years younger than me. Don't read this anymore either.

Parings:
Kai and Rei
--In my opinion they are two of the best charactes on this show. First season was the best. I know I said I don't like yaoi that much but I used to enjoy reading these fanfics.

I used to love the Harry Potter series and I started reading fanfiction while waiting for the next book to come out but I haven't been reading it as much now.

Parings:
James & Lily
--My absolute favorite Harry Potter pairing mainly because they are opposites. James is a Maurader and Lily is Head Girl. Plus we really don't know all that much about their Hogwarts years so you can make up a lot of things and it still seems realistic.

Sirius & ...
--There's no one in particular that I would place Sirius with. I mainly read the ones with Sirius and OC.

Remus & ...
--Okay obviously I like the Marauders so of course Remus is on the list. Just like Sirius I'm not too picky on who he's partnered with. I enjoy the stories where he starts off keeping the fact that he's a werewolf from the girl whoever she may be and when he ends up telling her she is gets scared but accepts it and understands him later. I think he deserves a girl who isn't bothered by his situation.

Ron & Herminone
--How can you not love these two? They are so perfect for each other they just have to realize it.
