: Re: Is it a bad idea to have three protagonists? I'm writing a story that involves three main characters. They appear in linear form, each one's story leading to the other. So for example character

The night watch series (Sergei Lyuenko) each book is made up of sub-stories each of which has several central protagonists as well as sub-protagonists who are antagonists in other stories. This sounds like what you are trying to do.
Peter F. Hamilton also writes a lot of stories with a LOT of protagonists but generally has one main storyline and then sub-plots moving along in tandem.

These are two series that handle multiple main characters well but in completely different ways.

I think the important thing is to make sure none of the storylines are throwaway or pointless and that your characterisation is honest to each character's identity.
