Site Suggestions & Support / Twitter feed
« on: April 08, 2011, 03:59:35 PM »
Has anyone thought about putting up a twitter feed on the site somewhere? It might be hard to understand context when Jim is replying to a specific question, but I thought it would be an interesting addition to the site. Just an idea.

Author Craft / Hero of their own stories in popular media
« on: August 02, 2009, 03:20:20 AM »
Hello,
This could have gone under Media, but it relates more to story and character than anything else.
I was wondering if anyone knew of some other examples (specifically in literature but film too) where the story is told primarily from the perspective of the antagonist. Everyone is the hero of their own story but I really like how this type of story telling can add some perspective to the motivations for villains. Not so much a redemption story, but what drives the character to commit evil acts.
Some that come to mind are:
Novels
Grendel by John Gardner
Films
The Assasination of Richard Nixon starring Sean Penn
Falling Down starring Micahel Douglas
