And the Wicked Shall Burn

The Almighty Questions

If one were to use only the first five leaders of the Children of the Corn, what type of story would one get? In fact, what type of plot would one get? And if this person were able to achieve the desired plot and genre how many people would actually read and review?

Well, my dear readers, I have actual answers to the ridiculous questions that I have placed before you. Behold, the main question that I long to answer is, Who is the greatest leader of them all?

Now, before you all decide to swarm my review box with statements claiming that your favorite should win (Meagan-bird), please understand that I have been through great lengths attempting to mold the characters into what (I feel) is their truest potential, something that the movies could not demonstrate well enough for all of us die-hard fans. Also, I have tried to gather as much information as I could, detailing their evil nature, once again, to the best of my human abilities. This would be a delicious plot for a screenwriter, but I suppose that a fanfiction would be just as good too. Think about it; each leader going throat-to-throat in order to appease He Who Walks Behind the Rows and win total domination over the children of Gatlin. And for such a delicious plot, one would think it terribly wrong if a bit of history, myth, and legend were not added to create some sort of bizarre, gore-filled delight!

Is this some sick and twisted American Idol thing? Will the few, less liked leaders be given the boot while the remaining ones receive credit, glory and fame? Hell NO! I plan on giving each character the same amount of work, because the flames would be unending, leaving me to burn for all eternity. That would greatly hurt my self-esteem, pride, and willingness to continue further on this site! Plus, I would be in total amazement if one of the former leaders were actually reading this and decided to find me and tie me up to a corn crucifix, because I rudely enough dropped them without another thought.

What about your other works in progress? Those will be finished all in good time. Remember that patience is an honorable virtue and one that will last a lifetime.

How much gore will be involved and will you try to create a history for the leaders? Gore will be a plus, though I'm also going to infer that violence has or will happen. The usage of foreshadowing should be enough, but then again my imagination may judge that differently. Also, I will attempt to create a history believable for you, as Meagan did in Isaac's Gatlin and Baby, only mine will somewhat differ from her perspective in the idea that Isaac was adopted. If I leak anymore info, then the surprise and suspense will be lost!

Finally, if I wanted to be a character in your story would you let me and what would be the requirements? Of course if you wanted to be in my story I would let you. Again, this would mean that you have given me direct permission to either keep you alive or kill you or give you some sort of otherworldly power. That choice is not yours. Sorry, but that would direct violation of the plot line. If I feel that your character is to be…well, killed, then I will do it; but, please, don't be angry, I'll give you an honorable death and I'll try to let the leader you like kill you off. Okay? As for the requirements of your character

Name is highly important, especially a last name. (I will not have you in my story without this!) Age (preferable under the AGE OF FAVOR) Sex (I mean male or female! Pervert) Hair color (No flaming pink or Hot Red! You would be dead on the spot if Gatlin were a real place. It's just sacrilegious) Eye color (Again normal eye color; please, nothing like Village of the Damned) Height Weight Personality (Be creative! No Mary-Sue types! Flawed characters are great and would increase the interest of you the reader!)

Where is the disclaimer? Here! Right here! I do not own the songs incorporated, references to the occult or Japanese manga, the leaders, Gatlin, quotes, the Children of the Corn Bible, the Bible, and He Who Walks Behind the Rows. I do own the poetry and the beginning quote and the plot, since no one thought it possible that perhaps that this could be done.

Other Rules and Regulations and ETC…

You, as the readers, are allowed to cheer on your favorite leader and allowed to give me any suggestions at all. NO FLAMES! I cannot stress that enough! The rating for the meantime will be PG-13, but mind you that this will eventually be bumped to the R section, so if you want to see if I have updated and is not on the immediate page, than please click on All Ratings or R.

I only hope that you enjoy the story; may it will entertain you, thrill you, and allow you to view this occult in a new light!

Sincerely yours,
