1. Anakin's always been a favorite of mine, ever since I read the books. (The movies also helped. ^__^) Let's say that I was kind of on a vacation, saw some STAR WARS books lying around, picked them up, and was sucked in.

2. Padme, naturally! :D

3. Either Anakin + Palpatine (just for the dynamics) or Anakin + Obi-Wan (again, dynamics).

4. Hmmm...this is a tough one. Okay, this is going to be embarrassing to admit, but a lot of people I know on the 'Net kind of had the line of thought regarding, "Anakin was such a brat and Obi-Wan was a saint to put up with him". Believe it or not, I had the opposite opinion reading the novelizations of AOTC and ROTS. I thought Obi-Wan was a complete jackass and Anakin was really a saint to keep loving him like that (platonically, that is. ^__^). Granted, I've warmed up to Obi-Wan more since, but back when I first read the books I loathed him and went...kind of Mama Bear for Anakin. Now I love them both. :)

5. I kind of wish he got a happier ending. He deserved better. :)

You read the books first? That's interesting :D
I watched the movies first. The classic trilogy, to be more precise, and I fell in love with Vader from the first moment he appears in ANH and loved him all the way through to RotS. Even not knowing that he was redeemed in the end, I "knew" there was good in him even before I saw Luke saying the same thing.

Then I went to the prequels. I confess that it was the prequels that made me a Star Wars fan, besides being a Vader fan. I really, really loved Anakin in the prequels! He was exactly what I had in mind for him before he became Darth Vader :)))

I agree with you on Obi-Wan's jerkishness, although I have Obi-Wan/Anakin as my OTP (both platonic and romantic wise). I like Anakin/Padmé, but... well, not as much.

Yep, I did. ^__^

I have to agree with you. :)

Obi-Wan's kind of grown on me now, but back then...he kind of got under my skin, so to speak. ^__^ (Save for a few moments. :) And yeah...I've been warming up to Anakin/Obi-Wan as well. ^__^

Obi-Wan/Anakin was one of my very first pairing thoughts :))

In case you're wondering why I type in O/A instead of A/O, I got this habit from another fandom of mine in which the order of the names is far too important... lol.

Yeah, that's what a person gets for staying in HP fandom for too long. XDD

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

Ah, HP fandom. ^__^ Gotta love it. XD

[girlofavalon.livejournal.com]

Yup! Even when it gives you the silly habit of being too careful what name comes first in a pairing, even - I daresay specially - in a slash pairing. XD

I can imagine. ^__^
