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

I'm a fan of fairly epic series, and I enjoy books/series with a bunch of "protagonists." It's harder to do *well*, since you're adding complexity, but it's certainly not something that never, ever works. Taking it as a challenge is definitely the way to go.

Some examples of multiple protagonist novels/series that I, personally, enjoyed:
Brandon Sanderson did it with 3 protagonist plotlines in Warbreaker (Siblings + a third guy) and Elantris (3 interweaving POV plotlines.)
Martin definitely has a bunch of protagonists in A Song of Ice and Fire, and I'm a big fan of those books. The first 3, in particular, do a really good job of integrating the various plotlines.
Timothy Zahn's novels pretty much always have 3-5 plots going on with different characters as the protagonist for each one, and they'll weave in and out of each other's stories.

Ohh.

Well I know it's more complex, I just don't see why the arcticles I read were all "Bad idea do not proceed".

I think I might take a look at some of those.

The articles probably took that attitude because they're directed toward writers trying to get published, most of whom won't pull it off well enough to get published, thereby not getting published, and the articles are trying to help them get published.
