lil_coyote asks: How do you go about making a villain that is believably evil enough to give the hero a run for their money while still being someone the reader has interest in and wants to read about? You’ve set some epic villains loose in your plots, but they don’t overshadow the heroes. I suppose I’m looking to make sure my bad guy won’t be flat without making him so big that he takes over the story.

It's Friday, I'm bored and none of my topics really appeal. I will be discussing that whole coke-can-cock thing.

Rivermoon1970 asks: I know you touched on it briefly in the last Short and junk but gender bending seems to be a topic coming up in a lot of the writing groups I'm in. What do you think about it? Especially when the core personality of the character is drastically changed.

Checkmate asks: So, there was a brief period in HP fandom history when it seemed like every other “Big Name Fan” was make the transition to being a professional writer and was removing all of their Fanwork from the Internet as a result. One of the reasons most frequently given for the removal was that the writers wanted to repurpose the original content of their fan fiction for their professional work. I’d really like to know what you think about this practice as both a professional writer and a fanfic author and if you’ve ever had an idea for a fanfic that at some point in the creative process became an original work or vice versa?

How fucked up fan behavior ruins motivation.

Usia asks: I remember the asshat who wanted you to warn for gay sex. I was wondering, who do you warn or tag for and why? Or alternatively what do you not warn or tag for?

Yzba asks: Seems like I have another question, or maybe a need to bitch about something. The tendency for some slash writers to feminize male characters. Particularly in the hp fandom, there’s this trend of giving Harry hips and long hair, It’s usually enough to make me close a fic really fucking fast. Lately, I’ve also seen it in other fandoms. Your thoughts?
