You know we all love him.
The Anti-hero.
The historical pirate. The man on the run from the law. The corporate execuative bent on a take over. The dark, bitter man of the slighty-criminal element. The futuristic invader of Earth.
If only I can write him!
I’m trying to do a pirate story, and this man is just naughty. Like wicked, filthy, preverted type naughty. And I can’t make him stop!
He does things to the heroine that make me blush. And I’m pretty unshockable at this point. You can;t write in the naughty romance genre without getting a bit old-hat about certain levels of sexual heat.
But this guy? Oh. My. Holy. Jesus. He’s just filthy. I tell him to reign it in and he pulls his cutlass. I mean, he’s un tameable. That’s why he’s a pirate.
The Anti-hero.
Has anyone ever had this happen? Had a character hijack your story. Ugh! I might have to kill him off just for being such a pill. He might have a sword, but I have a delete key. Ha HA!

Leave Mr. Pirate alone, he’s a hottie. A filthy dirty isn’t exactly a bad thing.

I have characters try to hijack my stories all the time. I try to appease them by promising them stories of their own, but it doesn’t always work.

You mean they’re not supposed to? I’ve been doing this wrong for years!

He sounds absolutely Yummy! I’ve never written an anti-hero…but I’m writing an anti-heroine. Does that count? LOL

hrm. I had a character threaten me with a knife once. I wasn’t typing fast enough apparently, and staying up far too late…and dreamt about him. Very disturbing. He is, most definitely, an anti-hero.
