Just out of curiosity ...

Yeah, I'm using radio buttons so you have to pick one. *g* This doesn't mean that you'd never read something written in first, or rotating third -- just what you're most comfortable reading, or what might tip the balance if you had to choose between two very similar-looking books or stories. (I'm leaving off second entirely ...)

I'll add that I particularly love fanfic that experiments with POV in interesting ways. I love this in original fiction, too, but people seem to be a little bit more daring in fanfic when it comes to experimenting with form, whereas in original fiction, editors and publishers tend to squash some of that down in the revisions.

Oh, I like that about fanfic, too! Actually, like I was saying in one of the comment answers above, fanfic has definitely made me a more adventuresome reader, with more interest in experimentation. In the past, I was never really into experimental fiction in original fic. But reading fanfic and seeing all the different ways that people play with it has made me a lot more interested in original literary experiments, as well.
