Capn | 3462 comments Here's an odd request - I have a pet project on the side, where I collect the dates of birth (day and month) of fictional characters. For example, Bilbo and Frodo Baggins both have a birthday on 22 September, and Will Stanton from The Dark is Rising was born on 21 December (Midwinter).

I can't seem to find a database for the birthdays of fictional characters (other than those in the Harry Potter series and Manga), and thought I'd have a bash at putting one together (for what purpose, idk - to share on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, ultimately).

If you know of a character with a specific birth date, please let me know. :) There must be some well-known ones out there..
