if you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats

Corey Stoll as TJ

Fictional characters who I would...

 

...push off a cliff: 

     Paul Stoddard, from Snowed In by Christina Bartolomeo.

 

...kiss: 

      Tomas (T.J.) Jaruszalski, from Law & Order: Los Angeles.

 ...marry:

      Jonathan Bovaro, from The Girl She Used to Be and The Exceptions by David Cristofano. I recently discovered that Mr. Cristofano died a few years ago. I am so grateful that I found his books, which have been important to me since I first read them.

Beth Riesgraf as Parker

 

...set on fire:

      Martin Sloane, from the Michael Redhill novel of the same name. He was obnoxious, arrogant, elusive—and ultimately a ghost, even before ghosting was part of everyday life.

 

...wrap a blanket around:

      Parker, from Leverage : Redemption.

 

...be roommates with:

      the Jason Statham character from any movie he's ever been in. His character is almost never at home, has really cool stuff, and has loads of money.
