1. The first character I first fell in love with Mort, although in absolute terms I love Vimes, Weatherwax, and the Nac Mac Feegle more. But I read the books in order and while I liked Wyrd Sisters well enough, Mort was the first where I laughed myself silly, due in no small part to its titular character.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now Sam Vimes. I'm not a fan of either the mystery or detective genres, but hoo boy did he grow on me. By Night Watch, it was all over. His blend of decency, gruffness, social awkwardness, and world-weariness does it for me like nothing else. And also the Nac Mac Feegle, who I thought would just annoy me but whom I deeply adore.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't Rincewind, or any of the wizards, really. They are very much in the "bumbling but endearing" mold that I've never found particularly humorous or endearing.
4. The character I love that everyone else dislikes I dunno. Do people dislike the Auditors? I don't root for them, but they are such great characters.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer Sam Vimes, but only as he appears in Snuff, which was such a departure in tone from the earlier novels I suspect it was largely ghostwritten.
6. The character/person I would shag anytime Sam Vimes, but only with Lady Sybil's go-ahead. Granny Weatherwax if she'd have me. And definitely Rob Anybody.
7. The character/person I'd want to be like Tiffany Aching, hands down.
8. The character/person I'd slap Rincewind, or any of the wizards.
9. A pairing that I love Carrot/Angua, for his doofy goodness and her long-suffering wryness.
10. A pairing that I dislike While I don't dislike Vetinari/Vimes, I just don't see it (although I'm aware large swaths of fandom would disagree with me here).
