Went with Fiddler, The Fool and Druss the Legend, but wavered about for quite a while. That is truly difficult!


Went with Roland, Dresden and Kvothe.

Corwin of Amber (Although Brand is the more interesting character)

Morgon of Hed (not on the list but should be)

Voted for Caine, Fid and Arithon s'Ffalenn.

Spaced on Roland Deschain and bummed there's no option for Eddie Dean or Cuthbert Allgood.

Had to Google second-placed Karigan G'ladheon and still have no idea who it is. Had never heard of the series or author. But this series must be amazing since its protagonist is so well-loved, right? That's how it works?

Egwene al'Vere, Richard Rahl, William Laurence
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

The Chicken of Hate wasn't a nominee.

Fuck. I didn't see fucking Caine on the list. Fuck.

So I went with Quick Ben, Croaker and Locke Lamorra - the last because there was a tie between so many good personalities that I just blanked out and picked him even though he wasn't in the tie.

Rake, Caine, and Mat Cauthon.

QB and Elric were easy choices. Sad that Fess (Keeper of the Swords) wasn't in it.

None of my other Malaz favorites were in (Paran, Toc), so my last vote went to Sanderson's Kaladin, just because.

Went with Quick Ben, Karsa Orlong & Gerald Tarrant, Neocount of Merentha

Always had a soft spot for the Neocount or I'd have gone Malazan, straight ticket


Edit:

GAACK!!! Where's Kalam??? Posted Image How can QB be there without Kalam?

Anyone know why Tehol and Bugg are a single entry?

They're the only instance of this. I'm thinking it was supposed to be Mael/Bugg. Tehol merits his own entry if Antsy gets one.
