First of all thanks Julie, Rose, Steph and Tracy for the mentions of my stories. Especially Fly Fishing. I always beam with pride when you guys acknowledge that one. It's always flattering to see someone say you're their favorite.
 
Now to answer the villains question. To me what makes a great villain is someone who has multi layers. I love writing and thinking of back stories for all my villains, even if I don't make them known to the readers. It's important for me to know why they do the things they do.
 
You guys covered a lot of the ones I was going to mention like Mo in Scared of Reality and the bodyguard in Mind Games. Also the woman in Seven Days and the guy in charge in Boys in the Basement. Mersey is also a queen of inventing great multi layered villains which is why I named my villain in the Protect and Serve series after her!
 
As far as the fan in Beautiful Girl, I'm glad you see in her the kind of psycho fan I as trying to create. Someone who was crazy but at first seemed sane. As her life started to spiral so did her mind. Thanks so much for mentioning her. I really take that as a compliment since it was the first short story I ever wrote.
 
Which brings me to my favorite villain to read, which is the villain because of circumstances beyond their control. The people who can't help but like just a little. Even if they are completely evil, you can kind of see and even understand why they do the things they do. I love reading stories like that! It's probably why Malfoy and Snape were two of my all time favorite villains to read. I loved to hate them but also secretly found myself rooting for them as well. lol I wrote Max hoping for that same kind of feeling so again thanks for mentioning him.

Thanks for the mentions Steph and Tracy.  I quite enjoyed writing Nick in that role. :)  

And I can't believe I forgot Valarie as a villain.... loved her wacko craziness.

Thanks, Steph lol Documentaries rocks!

Your Curtain Call mention brings me to a very morbid question lol

If one of the boys were dying and decided to do a final goodbye tour, would you go?

Haha, you did ask it!

I think I would go if I was able to.  I would be a mess, but if it was the choice between seeing them perform one last time and not seeing them perform, I'd rather go and see them perform, even if it was going to be horribly emotional.  Like most things I write in stories, though, that is something I never want to happen in real life!

Thanks for listing CC as your favorite, Steph!

I would go, but I'm sure I would be crying the entire show.

I don't think I'd be able to do it. I wouldn't be able to handle it. I probably would only be able to watch it long after the fact if it came out on DVD or something.

I would be a mess before and after but during I can only hope that I would be caught up in the moment so that I have memories of the final concert.  I would want to be there for sure.

If I was able to go, then I would go.  But like everyone else, I would be a mess and would probably cry through the whole show, whilst singing along too.

Yeah I agree, Lore. I'd probably be a mess afterwards as well and I definitely would not have the same post concert bliss.

I am completely undecided. Part of me wants to go but the other part says it's too emotional for me. I'd hate to see it be the very last time I'd go to a show :(

I mean, as difficult as it would be I just wouldn't want to miss out on the chance to see them one last time.

As morbid as this sounds, I would see it almost like a funeral.  No one goes to a funeral for the fun of it; you know it's going to be sad, but you go anyway because you love that person and want to give them a send-off with other people who love them too.
