Stephen Cox Author13. Favourite antagonist to write: Villains, anti-heroes, rivals?
I have written genuinely evil people. I prefer people who are flawed and who are doing something for motives which are not entirely selfish.
Just J@stephenwhq #TheBanalityOfEvil meme is very real. Both of the actually, actively evil people I've had the misfortune of meeting were really very small and pitiful people if you looked past their constant attempts to make life a much more horrible place.
Fortunately they've both since died long and horrible deaths.
