Tried writing a prompt from a villain's perspective and got a bunch of fan mail from kids

Last week I was stuck on a fantasy prompt about a hero saving a kingdom. Out of frustration I flipped it and wrote from the dark lord's point of view instead. Posted it on a little forum I'm in. Three days later a mom emailed me saying her 10 year old son loved it so much he wrote his own three page version. I honestly didn't expect that. Anyone else get weird results from switching up your perspective on a prompt?

Ha, guess even villains need fan clubs. Kids got good taste?

@the_taylor yeah honestly I used to think kids only liked the good guys but now I totally get it
