THUMBS UP TO THIS POLL. Thank you for including L.M. Montgomery, because I am adoringly reading Anne of Avonlea basically at this moment -- I just stole away for a quick lj break -- and HOW WAS THIS WOMAN EVEN REAL, and thank goodness she gave us so many wonderful books.

Also: is it weird that I mostly picked Buffy because, in the event of an apocalypse, I'd want someone witty around? I just feel like her quips would be even more comforting than her slayer strength.
