These are really great classifications! For a famous plotter I immediately thought of Hannibal from Silence of the Lambs, though he isn't the main villian of the story.Margo Berendsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476308235642890474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373189681037229184.post-51758028485943480972011-08-12T19:35:26.032-04:002011-08-12T19:35:26.032-04:00I'm with Becky - I usually write Plotters, too...I'm with Becky - I usually write Plotters, too. I don't have much of a stomach for Killers. And the Best Friend one is like the Plotter on steroids because you have to pull some The Sixth Sense magic to trick your reader the whole time. <br /><br />I love the categories you've broken them down into. I'd say my current villain is a Plotter and a Best Friend. Or a Lover, which is even worse. <br /><br />But he's not like fake-Mad-Eye, who you don't suspect until the very end. You suspect two characters all the way through my WIP. At some point, the bad guy's ID is clear, but the main character is so taken in, she has a hard time believing he's truly bad, which is probably going to be very frustrating for the reader.Katrina L.

...Wow, I think my Big Bads are all Plotters. LOL! <br /><br />I think the Best Friend villains are so interesting, though, since there's always the possibility that not ALL of it was a lie. I don't write them often, but I like reading about them... even if I end up feeling as betrayed as the characters sometimes! <br /><br />Where Killers are concerned, I think the scariest one I can think of is Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men.
