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 don't mind 1st person POVs, as long as it fits; I'm guilty of writing a couple myself. Sometimes only Rodney can tell a story. LOL But I do believe if you write 1st person, you better have that character down because, as a writer, you will get picked apart. It's not necessary, but some feel very strongly on character studies or vignettes. To me, if you write 1st person, you have to have quirks, nuances, and language down. However, people's opinions vary. I really only write for me, and it's encouraging when I get feedback.

Third person fics allow for subplots and a lot more movement and content.
