I'm obsessed with the characters in a tv show.

What you're doing is normal. I'm a trekkie and I write fanfiction and put people together as couples I'd like to see. It's like a grown up version of playing with Legos, except instead of building with blocks to see what works, you're building with words and ideas.

What's going to get you into trouble is if you can't put it down long enough to have a conversation about anything else. That's unhealthy, and I think you realize that.

Do this... sit for a while and imagine a whole different story. Different characters, different setting, different everything. You have to admit, all your creative efforts are going towards building on *someone else's* ideas, not your own. See what happens when you set out specifically to write *your own* story. And set a limit, say, three pages, just so you don't feel overwhelmed by it.

This is an opportunity to turn a craft you've essentially been practicing with other people's ideas into something you can benefit from yourself. There are tons of examples of fanfic writers getting recognized and brought on to other shows as writers. But the people who are looking for writers are going to need to know that you can write on your own without borrowing from other people.

But whatever you do, keep writing and reading. I firmly believe that all human literary endeavors, from the epic novel to the back of a cerial box, adds to the substance of the universe in a very unique and special way.

are you talking about primeval?

yeah, I had the same except with nick and claudia.

I used to constantly change my obsessions over t.v programs and female celebrities (obsession in an admiration sort of way) because I didn't realise I was actually suffering from depression because I was so unhappy and tired of my real life and would put myself into these programmes or imagine myself as the character. The fact that I would sit in all day on the computer reading fanfiction and daydreaming about my obsessions made the reality of my life even worse.

The best thing to do, is still have interest in it but recognize why you might be so absorbed in this 'alternate' reality, which is basically what it is. Unfortunately, obsessions are unhealthy and are seen as bad in our society. So try to find out why you are so obsessed and then not hide it, but slowly take yourself away from the computer/tv and soon, like I have done, you will probably find yourself not interested as much.

good luck! and, whenever I find myself taking too much of an interest in a program/book/film etc. everytime I go to think about it I text or call a friend and ask them how they are and talk about anything else. it really works!!!

i am so obssessed with peyton from one tree hill and im not that sure why. i think she is amazing and beautiful, but i love the idea of her. i don't know if this is normal to be infatuated with a fictional character but.. um yeh. i think its pretty normal to have infatuations but they usually die down after a while.

you probably just see yourself in one of the characters, and really relate to the show. that's OK, just tone it down around others.

It is in the realms of being normal, if you don't get carried away and take it too far. When I was young I had a lot of problems, particularly with the education system. I retreated profoundly deeply into an imaginary world, of sci fi series Blake's 7. I went to the very edge, and it was dangerous. Being insane and thinking you were Blake's 7 was utterly bloody fantastic, better than being james Bond or Elvis or a Beatle. But I would not advise doing what I did. The story is told on the blakes7obsession website.

Dr. Spencer Ried. From Criminal mins. As freaky as it sounds. But I cant help it. He is just way to cute.

I'm obsessed with Shane from " the L word "

IDK WAT 2 SAY, but i'm just saying that this is also happening to me. I'm obsessed with a stupid show. I mean, it's normal, i guess?!?!?!?

I know exactly how you feel. I don't know if you'll read...it's been a while since you posted, but I had to share my own story. I am obsessed with two characters and I absolutely love them to death. I feel like they are meant to be together. The difference between your story and mine is that your characters probably ended up together. My characters were on that path - everyone loved them too. And then the writers decided not to go with it. It absolutely has broken my heart to pieces. I am feeling so sad about it. I make a wish every day that they will one day get a chance to be together. Nothing compares to the scenes they had together and I can't get my mind around all this. I'm just so pissed at these writers for not taking the opportunity to create an amazing couple that had fans before they even met. :( I know this isn't normal. But I don't think I'll ever stop wishing for this. It would honestly make my life complete if one day I read a spoiler that said they would get together.

i think that's a little bit too into a show, jus careful u don end up following the actual actors and keep it to the obsession with the fiction and u should be in the "normalish" zone

I am in love with Marco off of Degrassi. He is gay. I am not.

Don't worry, hon. It's normal. I'm the same way about the characters from the Japanese animations Hellsing and Trinity Blood. I daydream about them all the time, do fanart, make icons, etc. I've even established my own fictional universe using the same characters, but in different relationships and circumstances than the originals.

So yeah... You're definitely not alone. :)
