*So, I made a poll that basically asked: Can an author be the bad guy? The options were: Yes, No, and What? Let's see how it turned out.

*Before I tell you that, I also had a conversation with a reader which started when they commented the following.

*"I weild a pen, and have made many a monster."

*To which I replied...

*Does that not make you the monster?

*They reply...

*"No, for I have given them life, and can teach them. Teach them the ways of the beast, of temptation. Teach them the ways of life, of love, of care."

*I retort with disgust...

*You play God. You make them love you through portayl and manipulation. You could have left a world without conflict, a world of Peace. Yet you didn't. Now, here's the deal. I don't care how you try to justify it, you're the bad guy. Cut and dry.

*Ever calm as this group is, they respond...

*"Alright. But the bad can be good people who do bad things for good reasons."

*Annoyed I growl...

*(Deep sigh.) No. Just, just no. Face it. The only true monster...

*Is the man with the pen. Oh, btw, if you have a problem with it, just say so, but any plot relevant shit from here goes into a book and this seems plot relevant enough. If you wish for this conversation to not appear, you have 24 hours to say so.

*They return, still calm...

*"Simply trying to display that not all authors and artists are bad."

*To clarify, I explain...

*Artists are fine. It's writers. So, I'll take that as a yes on the book. Don't worry you'll simply be referred to as "a user."

*Ever maintaining their cool, they retort...

*"I do not mind any name."

*And I end the conversation with...

*Works for me. Feel free to keep an eye on this story if you wish. Join me if you have any sense of morales when the time comes.

*And the results are...

*Yes. They agree with me. Get ready Edgar! I'm not waiting any longer!...
