    :X: Best Protagonist--Nominations Closed

    This thread is for members to nominate characters for the Award for Best Protagonist. In order for a character to be eligible for nomination they must satisfy the definition of a protagonist 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.

    Protagonist- The leading character, hero, or heroine in a literary work.

    I second Roland Deschain.

    I'd like to nominate Nick Andros.

    A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

    Nominating:

    Johnny Smith (The Dead Zone)
    Ben (It) (or does he count as a supporting character? I think the whole ka-tet were protagonists, weren't they?)
    Richie Tozier (ditto)
    Stuart Redman (The Stand)
    Larry Underwood (ditto)

    Can we have The Loser's Club as one entry? If so, I second it.

    I third Jack Sawyer, Roland Deschain and Ralph Roberts.

    I'd like to nominate Trisha MacFarland from The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. She was tough as nails

    OOps... it's Larry Underwood, then - I hope the ones that have been seconded and thirded would count as nominated then, right? Only nominated by the people who seconded them, not the bear

    (I am afraid I did the same in those other threads, too )
