2018 Most-Wanted Hero Poll

It’s time for the second half of the annual poll: the most-wanted hero poll! Here’s how it works.

I took the suggestions you guys gave me over the last few weeks, and I compiled them into this poll. To keep it from being horribly long I had to group a lot of the suggestions together, so you likely won’t see your exact suggestion. This year, you can vote for FOUR different hero-types you most want to see in a book! This poll will close Friday, April 6th.

Reminder: I use this poll as a way to monitor what you guys like. Depending on my book launches for the year, I may not be able to use the top voted suggestions, or the hero types might not fit in with the themes/heroine character I’ve designed for a book. This is supposed to be mostly for fun–but I do try to pay attention to what you Champions say through this poll.

Thanks for joining in the fun. I can’t wait to see what guys you Champions vote to the top this time!

2018 Annual Hero Poll Results

Greetings and salutations, Champions! It is the moment you have all been waiting for! The winners of the 2018 Annual Hero poll ARE:

First Place: Merlin with 460 votes

Second Place: Stil of Rumpelstiltskin with 255 votes

Third Place: Emerys of Twelve Dancing Princesses with 224 votes

In honorable mentions we have Farrin of Snow Queen snagging fourth with 214 votes, Friedrich of Cinderella taking home fifth place with 160 votes, Captain Arion of Red Rope of Fate winning sixth place with 127 votes, and Asher and Aaron of Life Reader coming in seventh with 98 votes.

In total we had 683 voters this year–an increase from last year! Woohoo!

The competition was especially tough this time around, and this is first year ever that Rumpelstiltskin has been dethroned. In fact, Merlin beat him so solidly I spent some time trying to figure out if there was some sort of glitch in the voting!

A big thank you to everyone who voted…but we’re not done yet!

To celebrate this year’s results, I’m going to be taking Champion questions and interviewing a few of these handsome fellas. The guys who will be answering your questions are: Merlin, Emerys, Farrin, and Friedrich! To submit a question leave it in the comments below! BUT! This is a limited time event! I’ll only be taking questions for THREE DAYS. The last day you can submit a question is Thursday, March 22, and remember, your question must be for Merlin, Emerys, Farrin, or Friedrich. (I can’t have a free-for all, or I’ll go completely nuts trying to organize and write the thing!)

After Thursday, we’ll be turning off comments in this post, and we’ll post the 2018 Annual Most-Wanted Hero Poll to take it’s place! (Warning: The interview likely won’t be available until after the Most-Wanted Hero Poll is finished due to my current writing schedule.) The Most-Wanted Hero poll looks like it’s going to be epic this year, so I can’t wait to see what sort of heroes you guys vote to the top!

That’s all for today! Thanks again for voting, and the guys and I can’t wait to see what sort of questions you have for them!

2018 Annual Hero Poll

And now, the post you all have been waiting for! It’s time for the 2018 Annual Hero poll!

Every year I hold a hero poll in which you get to vote for your favorite K. M. Shea/A. M. Sohma heroes! You have three votes, but you only get to cast your vote once–so choose carefully! (Side note: The heroines get their own poll in summer, so this poll is completely male focused.)

The Poll closes: March 16th!

But wait, there’s more! Once the winning hero is picked, I’ll be holding the second half of my annual poll, in which you vote for the kind of hero you would most like to see in future books. (Alexsei of Swan Lake was modeled after 2016’s winner–the overlooked sweet/good guy—and Emerys was loosely modeled after 2017’s second place winner, pretends to be grouchy/snarky but is kind to friends, so I do take your votes seriously–though I can’t guarantee I’ll use them.)

In preparation for that poll, please shout out what kind of hero you would like to see in the comments below! (Keep your descriptions limited to a few words, like “stoic-marshmellow” or “batman-esque” or “cute nerd,” etc.)

Okay, now vote as you have never voted before, and may the best hero win!
