Re: First person requires an extremely talented author

It is no harder than any other style. 95% of all fic is utter shit, so that statement means squat.

You people and your pulled-from-ass percentages. Is it so hard to believe that some narrative choices just result in better stories unless handled extremely well? You can throw a lolcat anywhere on the internet and hit at least one decent third person fic. The same cannot be said for first person.

Sorry for insulting your-headcanon-diary-pretending-to-be-fic, but there it is.

You can easily find a good third person fic simply because there IS more third person fic in the first place. The proportion of good fic to bad is likely similar for both POVs.

My but someone's angry. What did the nasty first person do to poor you?

Is it that hard to understand that your preferences with regards to narrative choices are not universal?

As for 'pulled-from-ass percentages', why, you very funny person. Look at the first comment using them.

One wonders if anon has ever heard of Theodore Sturgeon, or if it's just us stodgy old folks who read and loved him back in the day.

Anon has heard of him, doesn't like him, and thinks Sturgeon's Law is stupid but somehow the motto of the internet.
