# Nancy Lebovitz For wish fulfillment, give the protoganist some reason...

*February 9, 2024 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Douglas Scheinberg's comment.*

Nancy Lebovitz For wish fulfillment, give the protoganist some reason to be super powerful (super serum, magic spell, robot body, etc). But, in general, I think it's more entertaining if the writers abide by biological limits, and instead figure out a way for the character to think their way out of a situation, rather than rely on biologicaly implausible durability/strength.
