How would i go about making a rrrrrrrreally evil, cringe worthy bad guy? The majority of my characters have a dark undercurrent with them, but the bad-bad guys just don't seem overly bad.
I have recently been reading some Harry Potter books, and although i have read better, the way she depicts Draco Malfoy is genious. You really do loathe him with a passion. And that's what i want from some of my characters, but i get the feeling that some of my bad guys are actually likeable. I was wondering if anybody who reads my fics could comment on this. Or maybe somebody who writes fics/reads alot of books could read some of my fics and comment.

I've recently read a couple of your Fan-Fics...and I have to say your evil characters are very likeable. Their charm and smooth sarcasm makes you appreciate how they can think on their feet. This is my opinion, but if you want your characters to be hated, you have to show the reader that the evil character is truly stupid, but wise in his own mind. To do this, you must compare the good guy to the bad guy. Persuade the reader into liking your protagonist and the rules he/she follows, then compare it to this evil character.
