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

[darkmanifest]

That's because it was very negative. It's much harder to write the same story from different perspectives than from a single perspective, sure, but he got really pissy about character labels. I read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi where it's common to have more than one protagonist and more than one antagonist, because the story consists of opposing groups, and the varying perspectives intertwine. Even if there's technically one hero who's more thematically important than the rest, they may not be the person I root for. Like, I don't know who the hell THE HERO is supposed to be in A Song of Ice and Fire, but I know Dany was the only perspective I cared to remember.

And personally, the protagonists I always end up resenting the most are the ones who the narrative keeps bullying me into focusing on as THE HERO when it's actually several other characters contributing just as much, if not more, to the heroic side of things. THE HERO starts to feel more like an intrusion in an otherwise good story, rather than the supporting backbone of it, because the writer feels like they have put one person above all the rest. Hence why I don't like attitudes like in that article that insist that kind of thing is always good for a story.

Tl;dr: Screw that article, write what works for you.
