On Writing Villains
Jul. 15th, 2006 06:54 pmMy writing block has lifted a bit, recently, and that got me thinking. There are tons of guides for creating your protagonist (though I may still tackle the issue at some point, seeing as how I'm contrary like that), but surprisingly little advice when it comes to villains. And let me tell you, writing villains is hard.
These are just a few things I've gleaned from my own writing, as well as the stories I've read or watched. The things I say may not apply to everyone...yaddy blah, usual ass-covering disclaimer.
Included are spoilers for Star Wars, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Tokyo Babylon/X, Yami no Matsuei, X-men and the Vampire Chronicles. I may be forgetting some, or some of the info may not be real spoilery, but either way. Ass? Check! Cover? Check!
Ok.
