What I feel when I write and not all monster are the same

Since I do nanowrino (nanowrimo.org), and it had been a few years now, I discovered something wonderful.  It is more a feeling.  While I do nanowrimo, I feel empowered while writing my stories.  It is mainly because I get ideas and somethimes, it is devious ideas that get the plots more interesting.  I call this feeling the "mad scientist" feeling.  Why?  Because I took full consciousness of the feeling as I was working on a story with a mad scientist in it.  The mad scientist was the bad guy of the story.  Curiously, I was more interested in tourmenting my poor mad scientist and giving him false illusion.  I like working with this mad scientist because he can be machiavelical as he want and I would follow him in his grandiose ideas before making him crash against reality and that lead him to his doom.

I am surprised that with our age on technology and science, that the mad scientist archetype isn't much there.  Is it because it is more difficult to come with the pseudo babble or science facts are harder to bend to fit the delirium of the mad scientist?  Other archetype are more "successful" right now  the mad scientist.  Zombies and Vampires are mass market sellter bad boys.  Werewolves are a bit of the under dogs right now but I wonder if they will join the high rated zombies and vampires.  Beside The Young Frankenstein, there isn't much movies that made an honor to the Frankenstein's monster fame.  Well, I guess not all monster and archetype are an hit.  Not all of the monster are equally marketable.  It is sad for my mad scientist.  I think he have some potential.  There are many bad guys in movies that rely on science to put their plans into action.  I am sure that those bad guys haven't done all the science part of their plan all by themselves.  So, the mad scientists could start with a small part (some movies had done it a bit, I think).

Well, I like my mad scientist.  I still enjoy writing for him.  I like writing his lines, to show his megalomaniac personnality or all his devious ideas.  I like to show how he enter and quit the story.  I like to kill him and find a way to revive him in another story.  I don't have this personal playfulness and special connection with other characters.  My mad scientist is my favorite character.  Maybe he will be, one day, have the spotlight he deserve in the published world or in a movie.  I like to dream that way for him.  Isn't it comparable to the sentiment a parent have for it's child?
