Is that to help you in your aspirations to become an Evil Overlord?--or is that Overlady? :)

I believe the proper term is Evil Overlordette - but no, that's not my actual ambition. My little sister is well on her way to becoming a Dark Lord; I plan to sit back and enjoy the show.

Actually, I use it as a conversation piece and as a "my bad guy isn't making these particular mistakes, is he" tool. Didn't I mention Diana Wynn Jones' Tough Guide to Fantasyland the other day? That works on the same principles.

I thought Overlord (or I guess it's technically Overlordette) was one of your many names?--seems like I remember a post about that :) If that's not your ambition, what title do you actually aspire to, and what are your plans for taking over the world?

I don't know Tough Guide to Fantasyland--what's that?

BTW, I just finished the first part of Taming of the Shrew; about to read the next part.

Isn't there a "Is your Character a Mary Sue?" list somewhere? :-)
