Wh...The Scribe is awesome - and a talented artist!<br /><br />When you were describing Constance, it sounded like you were describing Regina/the Evil Queen from "Once Upon a Time," a new series on ABC: something, one thing, bad happened to her and she's been cold-hearted ever since. Even when you think that she's being nice to you and has good intentions, she has an evil agenda behind her moves. As for which is more impacting, I think it depends on the story and the kind of outcome you want. I'm not a fantasy writer, though, so I'm not sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-3725621644258382292012-02-22T20:10:31.461-05:002012-02-22T20:10:31.461-05:00She is an AMAZING little drawer....I think Evil is...She is an AMAZING little drawer....I think Evil is all around us and it is all about how you write it, which I have no doubt will be amazing. My last blog post was about my daughter and a bully at school. This girl puts evil to a whole new meaning. It is really bad. SHe is making my daughters life so bad. I think when the one who is EVIL starts to tear others down to a point that it cripples the good guy, its too far. But, I know if anyone can make evil look good, it is you. :)Amy von Ovenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623909258148744922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-17285135063198750842012-02-22T18:05:21.987-05:002012-02-22T18:05:21.987-05:00Pure evil to me is the White Witch in The Lion, Th...Pure evil to me is the White Witch in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

I love that. A Game of Thrones is a good example. And when the bad guy clearly has the capacity to do good, and deliberately does bad, it can make them seem even more chilling and terrible.<br /><br />But I also like a really nasty villain, if well done. They can be wonderfully frightening and the basis for a real struggle for the heroes, making for a thrilling story.<br /><br />So I like them both, and I think the main thing is not to sit on the fence - either aim for a villain who might not be if you weren't seeing it from their enemy's point of view, or paint their soul as black as pitch. On balance, though, I think my favourite is the relatable villain. Although I do enjoy writing a horrible one - I may have to ration them!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406849127208192970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-66715064443331239392012-02-22T11:52:34.132-05:002012-02-22T11:52:34.132-05:00Gotta admire her for trying.

A character who is EVILLLL for evil's sake can wind up being a bad caricature in the wrong story. Likewise, a bad with an inner portion of good can seem wishy washy in some tales. It all depends on the story. <br /><br />Personally I like villains who are convinced of their own good/superiority. They basically have their own set of (usually insane) morals that set them apart. Dr. Doom is a good example of this. He's a rich character with a lot of history, but if asked would probably not see himself as evil...despite everyone else doing so.Rick Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703091917685458099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-49694473870901472112012-02-22T11:43:35.632-05:002012-02-22T11:43:35.632-05:00Nothing surprises me with The Scribe.

Sometimes pure, unrelenting evil is the way to go. Other times showing a gentler side of an evil person can make them even more chillingly sinister. Watching Hitler with his beloved dogs gives me chills, for example. Or Silence of The Lambs--his quiet gentleness was very spider and the fly, if you know what I mean. Evil comes in many forms and shades. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-83867524522355054082012-02-22T10:03:59.082-05:002012-02-22T10:03:59.082-05:00She drew that?!?!
