Today, I let a friend read a draft of the novel I'm writing. She claimed the antagonist is blatantly based on her, and threatened to sue me if I don't pay her royalties. The antagonist is an ancient, insane goblin witch. I guess I see now how this confusion could arise. FML

I doubt she would want to prove in front of a judge that she's an insane goblin witch, even if she is. You'll be fine.

Can you collect royalties from an insane asylum?

I can understand how she would think it's her, she's probably old , obviously insane, likes to paint herself green, and shoves a broomstick up her ****** from time to time.

Haha maybe your subconscious was thinking of her when you wrote it? Subconscious does some weird chiz man... Weird chiz.

It's ok dude, you can say "shit" on the Internet. Trying to sound intelligent while not even being able to handle using real curse words just looks silly.

There's no way she's not joking, right? Right???

This is hilariously ridiculous. Hope it made you laugh at least, OP. and I sure hope she was joking.

If she thinks her personality resemblances an insane goblin, get her some help OP. Besides, there's no way she could get royalties anything if it honestly wasn't about her; I'm sure any judge would be able to understand the situation, if it ever made it to court.

You're so vain, you probably think this -novel draft- is about you. :P

What a dumb twat waffle. Let her do that and see what happens. ******* moron.

*Looking at the OP's name.* I know a popular American expression is "Pardon my French". Just getting a kick out of seeing it reverse.
