 I have a bit of a soft spot for Mason too. Mostly because he's just so fucking hot. (Am I allowed to say that about my own characters? ) 

Of course! If you don't find your own characters hot who else will?

As per my post a few weeks ago, I'm doing a poll where people can vote for their favourite characters from my stories. I've now set it up and you can vote here... https://forms.gle/ah1eqKYj6huDeGHH6

I voted.  Will the gentlemen we vote for be paying us personal visits??

I have probably said it before, but I'm not sure: We need to see Alfie and Ozzie compete about which one of the two is able to outfreak his bystanders the most, and make their boyfriends feel embarrassed.

An Alfie and Ozzie flex-off/posedown in public after bumping into each other at a show/expo? (You know neither would be shy about asking.) That could be fun!  Alfie being starstruck and wowed because it's recent MU graduate and now pro bodybuilder Ozzie Osman! Ozzie recognising the lesser known Alfie from Instagram and maybe giving him one of his nicknames (Crazy Sock Dude? )

And you know for a FACT Deano would be the most embarrassed. Curtis would be completely in awe of the whole thing. His bodybuilder boyfriend posing with one of his favourite bodybuilders. And even though Deano would be a bit intimidating and not very friendly, Curtis would be in awe of him too because, well...he's just so fucking hot!

I voted for my two favorites: Deano Senior and Deno Junior.  I like them the best because I found them to have the most clearly delineated personalities - plus, they make me laugh!

"OI"! I feel like I've been to Brighton after meeting the Dinos! 

Also, I like Curtis/ yellow wooly jumper - He's memorable for being so different from everyone else in this muscle-verse!

Yeah - I have to say, I have a soft spot for the Deanos. There's a reason I wrote 3/4 Deano stories! I also think they deserve their own reality TV series but maybe that's for a future story!

19. Shaun Hudson (Deano's roommate)

18. Archie Andrews (Deano's geeky, ginger, muscle-loving future step-brother)

16. Ryan North PT (Deano's love interest from Deano's Summer)

15. Curtis Mayhew

9. Nick Malone

8. Adam Lloyd (Big-eared AJ Jones lookalike/all round nice guy - one of Deano's love interests in Deano, Again)

7. Luke Henderson (Woody's roommate/love interest in Muscle University. Kind of surprised this one ended up so high on the list!)

6. Mason the Hot Muscle Daddy

5. Alfie Winters

4. Deano "The Pocket Rocket" Watkins

3. Danny King (Not sure how Alfie would feel about this! )

2. AJ Jones (Noah's cute, cheeky, short-arsed big-eared bodybuilding love interest in AJ & Noah)

Delano Sr. 17th!! Deano Jr. 4th!?!

Recount, Recount RECOUNT!!

Seth “Ozzie” Orman as number 1-  OK! 
Pretty much everyone else - ehh

[DennisFLL]

I'm happy Ozzie and AJ came in first and second!  Two amazingly written, funny, quirky, lovable (and gorgeous) characters and my two favorites.  Deano Jr. placing fourth is very respectable as he had a lot of competition from all the other wonderfully developed characters from muscleaddict's incredible writing skills.  But Mdlftr - you're right, it does give pause as to why a relatively minor character like Danny beat out our Deano Jr. in placement.

Might it be, that Danny is fresher in some readers' memories than less recent characters, and that more recent readers haven't read @muscleaddict's earlier oeuvre yet?

I concur!! I guess I'm just going to have to write a big ass Deano Senior story and try and make everyone fall in love with him.

Ozzie at no.1 feels very right though. I had a feeling he'd do well.
