Yeah, I'm not a big sci-fi/fantasy reader, so I have no idea who half those people are.
And the list is for a blog for teen readers. I'd put a same-sex couple on there, but not one that's not canon, like Holmes/Watson. They can figure out slash on their own.
I'm adding Abelard/Heloise, because it's my list and I can, and probably Emma/Knightley, and possibly Katniss/Peeta, even if that's open to discussion.
Since it's a blog for teen readers, I think you should use Tiffany/Preston. They're from Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books, which are YA.
But I've never read those! I don't want to add characters I know nothing about.
Whoa! Brief, giddy flail: Jay Asher (author of the fantastic
Thirteen Reasons Why,
and the new
The Future of Us,
co-written with Carolyn Mackler), mentioned
Cold Kiss
on his fall list of books he's excited about.
FLAIL.
I'm honestly a little giddy. I ADORE him, and his list is really discerning. Whee!
Yay Amy! Very cool.
Couples - I love many of the ones you listed, Amy, and will see if any others come to mind.
Jilli, OMG, would love to read an Addams family book by you. I have an old hardback collection of the comics that was my grandmother's.
