We've Moved!

The authors of FaE have relocated to the Beyond the Veil castle keep. BtV is now your one-stop blog for Samhain Publishing's paranormal and fantasy romance authors!

Come on over! Just be careful when you cross the moat. The mermaids are still getting settled in with the Cracken. The drawbridge might be a little slippery.

13 reasons it'd be fun to be an evil witch


Nope, I'm not. Really. I'm NOT! Stop laughing ;)

Ok. Here are 13 reasons it'd be fun to be the (stereotypical) bad gal instead of the sweet heroine in a fantasy book.

13. You don't have to be a virgin like the heroine does.
12. When people piss you off, you can turn them into frogs.
11. You get some truly kickass dialogue. (usually offset by some really cheesy dialogue, but we're looking at the positive side of things here.)
10. Usually there's some prophecy to warn you of danger coming, so you should be able to get out of its way.
9. You're beautiful. And really, who doesn't want to be one of the Pretty Girls, at least for a little while?
8. Children are afraid of you. (I'm guessing this would make your neighbourhood the quietest one in the world.)
7. You have henchmen. Sure, they're usually ugly kiss-asses, but seriously, who couldn't use a henchman when the toilet clogs or some 'sweet little virgin' comes to dethrone you.
6. UNLIMITED POWER! (This really should count for two reasons. I mean, c'mon, who wouldn't want to fly or read minds or...something!)
5. When you're evil, your conscience doesn't keep you up at night. (take THAT Jiminy Cricket)
4. Hot evil men to 'join forces' with.
3. Everyone knows your name.
2. You can ride a broom. (*picks minds out of the gutter* you dirty thangs!)
1. Being an Evil Witch, you have the freedom to say whatever you want, to whoever you want. And really, that's a power I'd love to have. ;)

LOL riding the broom.
I like the idea of not having a conscience too.

Who says henchman have to be ugly? If I'm an evil witch and can do whatever I want, I'm turning those toads into princes!

Dewey said...

Elle Fredrix said...

Sara Thacker said...

Very funny. But I agree with Seeley, why do the henchmen have to be ugly.

Emma Petersen said...

My TT is about Google & me.

Robin L. Rotham said...

I'm with Seeley -- gotta have hot henchmen or what's the point? :D

Ah, being able to say whatever you want, whenever you want to...my ultimate fantasy.

pussreboots said...

Funny list. Happy TT.

R.G. ALEXANDER said...

Yeah-You make bad sound goooooooooood. ;)

Dayna_Hart said...

Ok, Seeley totally wins today's "Think like Dayna prize" (yes, you should be scared, hon) Because I kept visualizing the baddies from Willow and thinking...I'd want a henchman I could use for every purpose.

Shari said...

Hmmm, I'd be dangerous with all that power!

Tawnya Shields said...
