I didn't used to have a favorite Disney villain. But the other night, I watched the Princess and the Frog, and now it's Dr Facilier -- the Shadow Man. Even his death is awesome.

I like his “villain song,” too.

as a disney trivia guy i’d like to point out some of the subtleties you may or may not have enjoyed. one, his costume is, naturally, evoking baron sameidei (which is an actual ritual element to evoke a connection with the loa in question) and his name comes from the french “facile” or easy. he is a man who makes things easy.
also, he honestly tells everybody exactly what they’ll get from him. the butler? is told that he’d be miserable married, but forced to marry anyway, and the prince is told he’ll be given all the green he needs to hop from place to place. buuuut….
also, did you notice this?

Schweet. One more reason why they call him the Shadow Man, I guess.

I’m writing a fanfic in which a character writes fanfic of a fanfic. Is there an upper limit to how meta something can be?

There was a comic series, the writer got killed in that… then the typewriter just started going on its own. I had to look up the series title, it was The Grievous Journey of Ichabod Azrael (and the Dead Left in his Wake). Because, you know, a two-worder wouldn’t have done the job. It also had a talking horse. I forget where I’m going with this.
Good luck with the meta work! I tried a meta-ish one once. Slightly less success than Czech arthouse films have at American multiplexes. I’m sure you’ll do much better!

Have a friend write a review that's actually a fanfic of a character writing a review. For bonus points it's one of the characters your character was writing about
