first SF crush was much more recent for me as I did not watch a whole lot of SF when I was a kid but Lexa Doig was my first real one that catagory that was about 2 or 3 years ago when I started watching Andromeda
 
as far as wendy... no not even on my radar

first real TV crush was probably Sarah MacKenzie from JAG

others since then but those are the most relevant

Funny how everyone is responding with crushes from TV or movies.  Wendy exists (primarily) in text form...

Does anyone want to fess up to any text only crushes?

I remember liking Alia as portrayed in the third Dune book - dangerous but smart as hell.  And yes, I read those books when I was a pre-teen.

I've seen Peter Pan on stage, in several different TV and movie incarnations, and I've even heard a radio version, but I've never read any form of he story.

A crush is a superficial infatuation based primarily on appearance, I always thought.  Or maybe that's just a guy thing.

*This is only from personal experience- I'm no good at representing the female species, they generally think I'm weird.

Yes and no. I've had crushes on many a text person. Ed- in the lion the witch and the wardrobe. The first of the Xanth series gave me a hankering for magical men. Many a long afternoon was riddled with brief flight of fancy crushes. However- none of them were as deep as the "screen" crushes. A certain mullited wonder had me all giddy and silly. And I WAS honestly heartbroken a little when my Mom at last told me how much older he was then I was. Then more so whan my dad told me most of his contraptions wouldn't really work! AND again- just a little when the Mythbusters proved they didn't work. *sigh*

To be fair, most of what I read at the crushable age didn't feature a lot of strong female characters.  Nothing crush-worthy, at least.

I have plenty of geek crushes and a few from real life, and some people I adore without feeling any (sexual) attraction but strong love in another sense. 

Geek Crushes past and present list:

1. I used to really like Susan from Doctor Who. That's pretty sad.
2. Then there was that girl in the Dune series.
3. Moving swiftly on to a sucession of Scifi novel heroines
4. ending with the weirdest yet :- Trisha Macmillan...

Honorable Mention

Thom Yorke :) (partly because I admire him a lot, he looks great on stage, and I have to put one Radiohead reference into everything I say. Drives my friends and enemies mental, causing the former to morph into the latter)

Hmmm. Thinking back. "SF Text only" would probably be Akki from Jane Yolen's  Dragon's Blood or perhaps Nita from So you want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane. Though now that I really think about it, the first SF literary crush was probably Heinlein's Friday. I swear it was a reprint.

Should we start a "most desirable SF gal (text only)" thread?  Warning guys, we'd have to start a "most desirable SF guy" thread too.

Peter Pan's Wendy? Uh, no. Showing my age, but my childhood geek crush was Erin Grey as Colonel Deering in Buck Rogers.
Yep, her and Princess Leia. Totally.

Just came across this Adam Hughes image in ImagineFX, my favourite Fantasy and SciFi Art magazine, and thought I'd share it with you


and check out an amazing image of Padme  by Terese Nielsen (no idea how to link the actual jpg in the post)

I believe my early childhood "crush" was Tia (played by Kim Richards) from Escape to Witch Mountain and Return from Witch Mountain.

Yet another sequel:  Race to Witch Mountain

I'll admit to having a thing for Penelope Pitstop from the Whackey Races, but I was very young...honest (bows head and wanders away stumbling and mildly embarassed  :-[ ), very young, very very young

Penelope Pitstop even had her own show after Wacky Races.

Also, it appears she was based off of Natalie Wood, so you had good taste!

I hadn't realised that, I feel a lot better now thanks  ;) (straightens shoulders slightly and looks a little less shamefaced)
