I get the feeling i'm just repeating myself at this point, so I'll make it simple. Writing the story = truth is what I say it is, which in turn makes all depicted weaknesses inherently anecdotal (in-universe "plot devices" to make her character more interesting). Beside, the fact that she's the only Creator and vastly older than any other witch means that the Voyager => Creator evolution is a pure Word of God, which in turn makes it a Word of Her.

When it comes to the characters' viewpoint, all writers are inherently selfish sociopaths who strive of strife. Don't you think Alfred could have been vastly happier, if you just so allowed it ? Off course he could have, but his happiness would have made the story boring. What about the countless innocents literally sent to gruesome premature death for the sake of his initiatory route ? Who cares about these grunts, they are so insignificant they don't even have a name. Psychopathic much ? ^ ^;

Featherine is just amazingly honest about it all compared to the other in-universe author stand-ins. She literally embodies what writers truly are, and that makes her quite revolutionary. Especially since she doesn't ever get any form of comeupance, which makes complete sense. Did a writer every paid for what he did to his characters ? Off course not, s/he's hopelessly beyond them, and characters are by definition disposable pawns created, used and thrown away to entertain their audience.
