Re: Do we need "villains" for a good story?
by
Anders J. Skeleton-Now What?
I love seeing things like this.
Also, sometimes it can be fun to contemplate what a story could be like without a big bad guy. I might steal this for one of my own.
Personally, I feel that so long as there is conflict, and in some cases, it encourages character growth, that's perfectly fine.
Thanks,
