If done well, it's interesting. Phelix Send a noteboard - 24/12/2009 07:41:12 AM
To start off thanks for those who replied to my earlier message before. I want to run another concept by you all.

The "hero" of the story starts out typically, but goes from hero to anti-hero to being the villain that the world originally perceived. How does that go for you all?

And the perceived villain goes from being the villain to the unexpected hero.


Though, if it's done poorly, it's irritating. The transition has to both make sense, and be exciting. If the hero goes evil for no reason other than plot convenience, it's bad. Very bad. Also, if it makes sense, but is telegraphed so thoroughly that we know it's going to happen and there's no shock when it finally does, that's also bad... very bad.
I was Phelix on wotmania, I will always be Phelix in the "real" world, and now I am Phelix on RAFO.

You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true and also fierce you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her.- Churchill

what other people are saying... LadyLorraine - 24/12/2009 10:50:38 PM 919 Views
That said, the reason behind his being what he was was horribly executed. Ghavrel - 25/12/2009 05:48:27 PM 922 Views
oh. see, I've known Snape's motivations since we first found out about it. LadyLorraine - 25/12/2009 09:37:34 PM 787 Views
When Snape addresses his love interest with the most vile slur imaginable? Ghavrel - 26/12/2009 05:22:11 AM 874 Views
*shrug* it's a human reaction in the instance *NM* LadyLorraine - 26/12/2009 08:44:53 PM 416 Views
It's highly implausible. *NM* Ghavrel - 27/12/2009 06:00:15 PM 412 Views
On hind sight that does seem odd... Ryan - 27/12/2009 05:18:00 PM 889 Views
No deatheaters. It's just common at Hogwarts to show love through verbal abuse. *NM* Ghavrel - 27/12/2009 06:00:51 PM 392 Views
