The trouble with villains

admin — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:39:10 +0000

The thing about writing villains is that they have to be badder than I am. They also have to be characters in their own right, and I prefer villains who have just a hint of possible redemption, or at least something that makes you wish that they could be redeemed.

Poetry
Zorlone Vow- The Ice King’s Vow- “The message of the poem is slowly unravelled in exquisite lines. First it deals with thoughts and desires, then flows unerringly into the climax/denouement and finally the explosive ending or rather the chilling final lines…” – JenaIsle

Jennifer M Scott - Icicles - A picture poem comparing ice to love.

Roy I Thought I Was Tough- Another poem borne out of frustrations of not being able to beat what life has to dish out to me.

Zorlone \’96 \’93 Shy Guitar -“Melodious, a story about love and music intertwined.” - Strawberry Girl.

Dragon Blogger Icy Passion - Challenged to write a poem about love and comparing it ICE without using the words heart or love, I came up with this poem about “Icy” love.

Fiction

Webbielady What’s the True Measure of Intelligence? - A recent call to two of her friends made Rogue question what is the real meaning of intelligence… Why? Why? How can we tell if a person is really intelligent? Can we really measure this thing?
