Yes, that's it. Everything Foz writes that I have read is great but that meta is SUPERB. Hits every nail on the head.
I read a few awesome ficlets like that, like The Sea Witch Sets The Record Straight by ursulav and Unfortunates by ChokolatteJedi (with podfic read by Dunderklumpen) telling the story of Ursula from The Little Mermaid.
Ok! giving a voice back to the "witches" (the female villains), I didn't understand what you meant and thank you for the recs. It's interesting that your examples are female villains. The core of Foz' meta is the lack of female anti-heros; whereas male anti-heros are plentiful. (Spike, Angel, Rambo, etc)
This reminds me of an assignment we had in a high school lit class when we were reading Medea, each student had to pretend to be a lawyer in a courtroom and decide to either defend or prosecute Medea as if she were on trial, and give an arguement. I was the only person out of 30+ who chose to write an argument in defense of her.
