User blog comment:LordTBT/News:New Redwall novel in 2011, Name a character!/@comment-24.112.46.17-20100717091316

as a furry, i love his novels but am deeply hurt by his lack of writeing in a fox as more than just a vermin character. Inspite of the fact he has hippocritically written in an evil Shrew and a good simple rat that redeems himself by stopping his ex-captain from harming redwallers.

If you read, you see evil, wrong or untrustworthy 'good' creatures he considers to be good ALL the time. In the past, fans have asked him "Why not a good vole or a fox" and he has responded with "No, good creatures will be good and vermin will be vermin!". But he has "Good creatures' clearly crossing the line. o.O;;; Why not a good vermin for once! Not just some 'Grey character'
