Best Minor Character--Nominations Closed
This thread is for members to nominate characters for the Award for Best Minor Character. In order for a character to be eligible for nomination they must satisfy the definition of a supporting character listed below, and they must be a character from one of Stephen King's published works, including any of his novels, novellas, and short stories. Characters from titles published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman are also eligible.
To nominate a character for this category, simply post your choice in this thread. In order for a character to be placed onto the voting ballot for the Award the nominated character must be seconded and thirded, also in this thread. This is to ensure that we do not have an overly long list of contenders for the Award, and that--by virtue of the nomination process--each character listed on the ballot is guaranteed to have at least something of a following come voting time. Please note that you MUST clearly state in your post that you are seconding or thirding a nomination for it to count. Feel free to deliberate and discuss your choices in this thread.
While you may second or third a nomination more than once, we ask that there be only one new nomination per member.
Minor Character - Any character in a literary work whose contribution is essentially smaller than that of a Supporting Character. This way we can hope to do justice to such unforgettable creations of Sai King's superbly multifaceted talent that otherwise might have been eclipsed by other, apparently more significant ones
The distinction is not always obvious, so do not be afraid to nominate in the "wrong" category; there are always mods around who would be happy to move your nominations to where they belong.
