Re: Fandom Annoyances

Thiiis. I've lived all my life without being aware that there was supposed to be any quality difference between 1st person POV and other types of POV. And then fandom randomly has this huge issue with first-person narration.

I tend to avoid first person fic (though there are some that are wonderful) because I find it off putting to get that level of insight into a character's thoughts when it's not present in the source material. But I've read some that were really great so I wouldn't be adverse to reading more.

Ugh, averse. Ducking autocorrect.

I have been in 8 different fandoms over about 20 years, and I have read tens of thousands of fics. I don't usually sort them until after I've been in the fandom for a while, so I read absolutely everything. Of all these fics, I have read one first person fic that I consider good. One.

There may not be an innate difference in quality between the two POVs, but fandom certainly divides itself out to make first person POV the bad fics, it seems.

First person is a pretty uncommon POV, except in fandoms where the source material is in first person, so, uh, that might have something to do with your figures there.

I don't think it is a quality difference so much as personal preference. I personally almost never like first person POV, whether it is fics or books. I just can't seem to get into them. Reading for me is about being sucked into the universe of the story, and I can't seem to do that if it is written in first person.
