I actually think this is fairly normal. The duration seems a bit long BUT that could just be because you haven't run across any characters who seem more interesting to you...
I say this because I, all of my friends, my younger sister, and most of her friends have had pretty deep interest/obsessions with various fictional characters. And I know of several internet subcultures that take it to an even more extreme level than me or anyone else I know; and I would hesitate to even call that "not normal". Building a fantasy life is what people DO. Especially locked in this silly world.
Just enjoy it, unless you find that it is making you or others actually unhappy; that would be a warning sign that perhaps something needs to change.
And @freeforall: Dude, seriously. I second the "is it really that big a deal", because you know-- it really isn't.... :s
