unrelated but that is one fine ass ship

For me it's a classic Sturgeon's Law situation - sure, plenty of 1st person books are crap; plenty of books are crap period. I've never understood peoples' objections to 1st person at all.

Just last week I read a description of ALF on facebook that made it sound like ALF was a much darker show than it was!

Like "Gordon's boredom, depression, and survivor's guilt often gets him in trouble." So yeah a grimdark ALF reboot would work!

What are you trying to learn?

I am trying to learn enough python and HTML in two weeks to scrape as many secrets from here as possible before imgur deletes them. It is not going well. LOL.

Does anybody really care that deeply if you don't watch their recced media?

I would love more of my friends to get into House of the Dragon, but they don't seem interested, so, okay?

You are a HERO.

I like it when people at least give stuff a try, but I have no expectation that anyone will actually like any of the stuff I like.

How that movie, with that storyline, ever got Greenwood is a mystery. Or a tribute to the unholy power of cocaine available to producers.

[(Anonymous)]

Greenlit, not Greenwood. Damn autocorrect.

Personally I hate 1st person narration because I don't want to be put into the story. I don't self insert, I don't project, the way I enjoy my media is being a fly on the wall on each scene; never directly involved in any way shape or form, just observing. 1st just gives me all of the eebie jeebies and do not wanties.

Skills-wise, I'm trying to keep my Sims 4 modding skills sharp. Recently managed to code custom traits into the Self Discovery mechanic introduced in Get Together.

Life-wise, I'm trying to learn that I'm entitled to anger and frustration at a situation as much as anyone else is.

DA

That's a fault of the author tbh - a good first person POV story will have "I" the character be strong enough so that it's clearly someone else's thoughts you're reading from their perspective, not yours.

Unfortunately it doesn't work at all unless that well written and clear characterization is there, which doesn't happen too often. Especially not with writers who think their generic YA protag is different enough from others to stand out as unique and cause reader/narrator separation without effort.

AYRT

For me, in a 1st person story (at least any moderately well-executed one) I don't put myself in the shoes of the protagonist; I'm still observing the scene, I just am observing it from a vantage point that also gives me access to what's going on in a character's skull
