This is a very hard question. I can think ok of two dozen answers that would be good, but my number one pick would be Rebs. We have chatted for so log, I would like to talk to her in person and see if the voice I imagine in my head is anything like the real deal.
Same question. One meal in person with one member of Stories Space.

Square dancing would become more popular.
If you could meet just one member from Stories Space for a meal in person, who would you pick? I think this can be a hard question.

Sorry Roland that is what I meant. As Maggie says an antagonistic protagonist.
Michael Moorcock wrote a series of stories based on the champion eternal where many of the main characters where evil. For and American classic, The original Batman comics and stories portrayed him as a complete vigilante. He killed the villains and if law enforcement got in the way he killed them too. He felt that torture, blackmail and even kidnapping innocent people including children were acceptable tools in his battle to stop the bad guys. He truly was the Dark Knight.

I have been on Stories Space for only two months less than Rebs. Wonder why she has over 10,000 profile views and I have a little more than 3,000? Maybe people hate sailors. LMAO

I think there is a fundamental problem with the line of thought that is being followed. A protagonist is by definition the primary character of the story. Many of the posts here seem to be misintrepiding protagonist/antagonist as good/bad. That is not true. Justine (Entangled Fate) understood this. I am not sure it is even possible to write a story like discussed here. Even if you wrote using second person prospective; the second person view, by definition, can not be the antagonist because they are the main character. It seems this whole thread is actually about is a story where the protagonist is evil, or the bad guy. This is not uncommon at all and, as mentioned by Jake (Starfallfantasy), is a great way to humanize the 'villain.' I think it is important when writing from this point of view to consider that the 'bad guy' usually does not think they are bad. Darth Vader believed he was doing the right thing throughout most of his life and it was not until his death that he realized his mistake. I may be wrong, but this seems like nothing more than a mistake in terminology than anything else. I know that Rebs (Rebellious Soul) has written using a main character that could easily be considered less than heroic and more nefarious, but that does not constitute that the main character is the antagonist; they are still the protagonist. The characters opposing them, good or evil, are the antagonists.

The Avengers (1988 version) Said to Emma Peel. (What a name) Not a very good movie, just my opinion, but I enjoyed it because I love Uma Thurman.

Yes, I did. In the late 70's I did a semi-regular 'unknown comic' routine in the local comedy lounge on amateur nights. I think my jokes were better than the original, but the bag on his head fit better. (Ask your parents if you do not know that one and are in the USA)

Yes, but only an appropriate amount. In this case it seems you have done most of the punishment to yourself. I would imagine a reminder of the rules and a smile.

To value the good things in life is impossible without the bad. If everyday was good, it would just be average and thus less precious.

No, but precise words do.
