Subject: 1st person writing vs 3rd person.

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

Uh, I don't have a preference. As long as either is done right, they're both good.

Warning: You may find that my, or someone else's opinion does not comply with yours. Side effects of disagreement may include (but are not limited to): flaming, irrational behavior, broken keyboards, and/or nervous sweats. If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.

Third person usually allows me to develop a better relationship with the characters because outside observation is how we naturally come to know people, rather than having insight into what they are thinking, although first person does have it's uses, which I often admire.

BTW Elites rule!

And I am probably just trolling you right now....especially if it is a controversial thread

For me it just depends on the novel, but if the first person perspective is from a character I don't like then I will prefer a third person perspective.

Secret Option: 2nd person.

I don't think all that many people even know what second person writing is.

Personally I prefer third person.

Everything is proceeding as I have forseen.

A nice gangster prefers to read in a third person view but also likes first person.

Thank you, that was touching.
