Authors as badass as their Characters

I thought this article was highly amusing

http://www.cracked.com/article/152_5...-they-created/

Can anyone thing of any other examples of an author being as badass as the character he created?

No....that's kind of a narrow category. I didn't even know about these.

A more broad subject would be favorite Cracked.com lists (like most humor sites, Cracked.com tries too hard, but there's some good stuff within, like this, or this). Or especially this.

Book authors?

J.K. Rowling was pretty badass, she was suicidal when she started writing the books, and most recently, she threatened death on anyone who looked at her Deathly Hallows script early. Now the question is... which of her characters is as badass as her? Hermione, maybe? No, Narcissa Malfoy. She was hating her life too, and she threatened death on anyone who dared to look at her son.

I know he doesn't exactly count as an "author", but I remember the documentaries in the two-disk King Kong set showing how badass Merian C. Cooper was.

He sat in a tree and taunted a damn tiger that was less than a foot from him just to get a shot, not to mention filming in the middle of a massive elephant stampede as it completely demolished the village around him. You need balls to do just one of those things, but he did both.

Oh, and, while I can't think of specific examples, he had a lot of hardcore moments while serving in WWI as well.

Someone might argue that is more Emo than badass, but I will not argue either way-- well she created the bad guys of HP too, but I don't think these things are more badass than Voldemort. XD
