Oh yes, I definetly know what you're talking about. I think you can imagine what the fandom at large has to say about fangirls who like Loghain.
Varel... oh yes, I can appreciate him ^^ - it's the voice-actor. I've liked the guy and his work ever since Babylon 5. One of the characters he played there is the romantic lead in my one and only Bab 5 fanfic ^^ - and this character is a very obscure one too.
Playing Morrowind I developed a liking for Vivec - which nobody really shares either. Star Wars? Thrawn. Sigh. Does anyone even remember who Joret Dal was on Star Trek: The Next Generation? Nope. And he was soooo cute.
And then, one actor I'm usually really glad to see in any show (because it means that there is at least one person doing their job well) gets a part in True Blood (and one that pushed all the right buttons for me, sick puppy that I am), and I rejoiced... and they went and frickin killed him, like, four episodes later. Kasplat. Dammit!
Liking an obscure character has two definite drawbacks: Next to no fanfic to read, and almost nobody will read your fanfic, if you write it. I never would have finished my Bab 5 one, if I hadn't had a cheerleader egging me on.
