A few errors I noted:

1) Technically, Cyrano and Blackbeard are both historical figures, not fictional characters.  I suppose you could stretch a point to argue they've had stories written about them.

2) "The Medusa" is wrong.  Medusa was the personal name of one of the three gorgons, along with Stheino and Euryale.

3) The Master claiming that writing half a million words over 25 years is "some kind of a record" is a bit absurd.  To put it into perspective, that's equivalent to four decent-length novels.  The actual record-holder is Charles Hamilton, who wrote for the same kind of boys magazines as the Master (his best-known character is Billy Bunter).  He's been estimated to have written about 100 million words, although that's over a longer period.
