Second Period Drama Heroine Tournament - Contestant Suggestions

Sunday, October 16, 2011

I know a lot of you are looking forward to The Second Heroine Tournament! I currently have ten more spots available for suggestions. Here are the list of contestants that are already in the running. Suggest your suggestions and I'll put up a poll at the side bar for everyone to vote on their favorites. The top 10 in that poll will be entered into the Heroine Tournament. I will be also taking heroines/main characters from historical period dramas (not just fictional period dramas). These contestants aren't listed in any order (these will not be the matches). I will be taking suggestions until October 31st. The poll will run for one week and the top 10 will be entered into the tournament.

There are also contestant profiles! Have a look at them here! I would like to give a big thanks to Melody from Regency Delight ~Jane Austen, etc.~, Miss Laurie from Old-Fashioned Charm , and Charity U from Austenitis for helping me write the profiles!
