Re: So I just read some stuff that "Dual Protagonists are not reccomended"

[(Anonymous)]

As long as you make it obvious when you switch between storylines/POVs, and keep the story balanced between them, I see no problem at all in having dual protagonists. Actually, looking at my bookshelf, I'd say most of the stories I go back to again and again have multiple protagonists. There is far too much "writing advice" out there that boils down to "This is hard, therefore you should never attempt it." Don't listen to that.

Yeah I plan on doing that, writing with a third person style (ala the Harry Potter books) It mostly sticks to the siblings but occasionally shows tidbits with the antagonists to build tension.

I agree with that last bit. I seriously dislike that kind of advice because it feels like a cop-out. You can write anything wrong. That doesn't mean you should tell people to not write it. Laziest "writing advice" there is.

God, that gets on my nerves. Especially when it has that "LOL YOU CAN ONLY PULL THAT OFF IF YOU'RE GOOD. BUT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW IF YOU'RE GOOD. ...IF YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU AREN'T!" thing going on. How are you supposed to know if you're allowed to write like that, again? :/

I call bullshit! You can't learn to do something right if you don't mess around with it!
