>> i like villains, tilted power dynamics in media, <<

I love villains who are right. Their methods may be fucked up, but their core concern is valid. My favorites include Magneto and Poison Ivy.

So when I create villains for my settings, I tend to go for complex ones who have a goal that makes actual sense. I feel that it makes them more interesting characters. Based on reader feedback, the most popular one in this regard is probably Dr. Infanta. Whether she's a supervillain or a superhera depends on who you ask.

Who are some of your favorite villains?

>>musings on art/(censorship of),<<

I saw a reference to the Three Laws of Fandom in a new friend's blog, looked it up, and posted about it to start a discussion about freedom of expression and the importance of not being a dick because censorship makes fandom shrink. Ensuing conversations have been interesting.
