    Default 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.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    it's perfectly all right

    you can make one nomination of your own after/before/while seconding/thirding/fourthing as many as you like

    I'd like to nominate The Losers Club
    (Does this count or do I have to pick one? It's hard for me to separate them since I see them as almost one entity.)

    I'm thirding the losers club. I think they are collectively the only real protagonist of the book. Individually they are not so special. None of them can really be considered a protagonist, imo.
