Re: If you could get rid of one fanwork trope...

It can work in original fic because there is no pre-existing character voice to get wrong, but it fails in fanfic because most fanauthors are really bad at getting the character voice right. It always seems to end up being an angsty teen genius, except where we actually have an angsty teen genius and then it becomes a either an abused or super-happy teen genuis ditz instead.

Well, yeah, but there are good fanwriters out there. When it comes to fanfic, first person probably works best with oneshots... especially the short ones that run heavily off of a single concept, like a mystery or a horror. I have read longer stories in first person too, they're just quite rare.
