Re: Fanfiction dealbreakers

Writing in the first person and/or in the present tense pose different challenges, but don't automatically equal crap. Poor writing is just poor writing.

Personally, I use the present tense when the characters and/or the scenario call for terse, hard-edged prose, and -- though I don't do it very often -- I find writing in the first person an absolute joy, because it involves 'becoming' the character, using his or her voice, limiting the focus to whatever he or she sees, knows, or believes, and constructing the plot accordingly.

Fine if you actually manage to capture a character's actual voice, but I've never seen that maintained for more than a couple of paragraphs before wandering off into the author's own mindset. It is hard enough to capture a character's voice in third person limited, 1st person for a fanfic is nigh on impossible. It may work for original fic, but not in fanfic. Fantasizing about becoming the character is pure self-insert territory no matter how you slice it.

As for terse, hard-edged prose. Going present tense makes it less urgent and more hilarious.
