I have noted from your comments on quite a number of stories that having everyone die seems very important.Think how much we would have lost if Ian Fleming, JK Rowling and the folks at DC Comics had killed off James Bond, Harry Potter and Superman in their first stories.
Windar,
It depends on what you mean by everyone as well as other circumstances like plot, what we feel about the executioners and so on. Personally I choose to believe that in so many of the stories here the female characters make ideal subjects for things like crucifixion and hanging. So it is that when such characters somehow end up surviving the story just doesn't seem complete. To me these women and girls don't really fall into the same category as 007, Harry Potter and Superman. The former group as I see it consists of female folks that just seem destined for the cross, the noose or some similar(and equally unfun)fate. On the other hand you need your group of heros to survive to build a series around each of them. Not so with these damsels in distress, who keep coming back for more no matter how many times you do away with them. You know, though, I wonder sometimes, - am I just part of a bloodthirsty mob here? I know that the thought of mob rule in any situation is not something I consider to be a positive development in any story; I greatly prefer orderly and at least fairly quiet executions, maybe to the point of being carried out in private. At the same time I understand that not everyone here feels as I do; in fact, with so many people here I would indeed wonder greatly were things such that everyone at CF actually agrees with me all the time. At that point I'd probably have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. In any case it's all in fun, am I right?
