Transcript by OP

[fscom]

Another CNovel I've been reading has joined the "you can only continue to read the FTL with proof of purchase" ranks. But despite understanding that the original author should be supported I refuse to do it.Not just because installing the Chinese app with which to buy it is a serious hassle in my country (which it is).

Not just because you can only pre-pay a much higher amount via PayPal to that app than you actually need for the novel (which is annoying and sketchy). And not because it's weird for illegal FTLers to be on such a moral high horse about this (which is an argument I've read a few times but don't necessarily agree with).

It's because all PoP novel FTLs that I've seriously considered doing this for have gotten an official release, most halfway through being fully translated and I refuse to pay for a version I can't actually read when the official version will be expensive enough and I don't want to pay for it twice.

I haven't kept up...

... what Scottish villains are we talking about now?

Can anyone provide examples of this?

[(Anonymous)]

I have no idea what Scottish culture stuff is being ripped off by Hollywood.

[(Anonymous)]

I do not like first person but for very different reasons! I can't seem to really connect with the story or the characters when its first pov. It also nearly always seems more juvenile.

And I get resentful too because it seems like so many interesting stories these days end up being forst person and I miss out!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah I couod see how fandom would fawn and give you the wrong imoression. Yet another reason I like to go into TM blind.

She definitely came off rather daft to me. I had to go look up some if her other stuff to see if she really was that dim and daft or if it was an exaggeration just for the show. I'm still not aure which it is.

I am fascinated with her accent though.

Re: Can anyone provide examples of this?

[(Anonymous)]

Same reaction and subsequent question.

I'd say don't have a cow, man, but those cows are pretty sweet. I sign up for the highland cow army.

When it comes to fanfic, first person pretty much almost always fails to capture the voice of the character involved. When it comes to original fic, unless the author is very, very, good you get a voice that tends to come across as a little detached and bland, because often the character diverges very little from the author themselves. You always seem to see when the character is doing something the author hates.

George MacDonald Fraser and Sandy Mitchell are good authors who manage to dodge that, but only because their characters are so wildly over the top that they were never in any danger of that happening to start with. Ben Aaronovitch is an example of an author who started good, but his 1st person character soon sort of devolved into a smarter than thou author tract.

Third person, omniscient, in past tense, is always the way to go. Third person, limited, can work sometimes though.

[(Anonymous)]

Second person narrative only works for choose your own adventure books.
