A Survey: Persons and Stuff like that

[Danny]

has anyone else written fics in both the first and the third person? when i first started writing 'Fragments...' people used to tell me how hard writing in the first person was, but i find 'Fragments...' a lot easier to write than UO.

i mean, i've been writing UO for months, and Fragments for only a couple of weeks, and already i've written 20 chapters of Fragments, compared to 43 of UO!

it's probably because in UO i have to keep switching between characters, so its kinda hard to get into the writing, whereas with Fragments i can just start typing and not stop until my fingers get tired.

so anyway, i was wondering what sorts of stories do other writers find it easiest to write? why?

for me its third person. I guess that is mainly because I dont have zillions (ok slight exageration there, hehe) of characters to keep track of. I did almost write 'The Sin of One' in first person, but changed my mind.

first

[Silversnow]

Hmmm... I think its first, or second?? I should have been paying more attetion to the swedish lessons!!

[Danny]

hmmm, i've never heard of any story written in the second person before, except for that one by Simon Armitage.

Hm... I dunno. I find third person easier, but then maybe that's only because I haven't written much as first person before. Maybe I'll have a go at that...

I've half-read one book written in second person, but my head started to go round, and I got confused and gave up. I can't remember who it was by...

Hmm...I guess third person, although the fic that I'm writing now is in first person. Ok, I take that back, I can write a lot more in first person than I can third. *Confused herself* Uh...yeah..first person.

[Danny]

hmm... yeah, i'm glad you agree, black. i find i can write more in 1st too.
