I do not understand why first person gets so much hate. :/ I get that inexperienced authors tend to gravitate towards it, but that doesn't mean it's always bad.

When I was a kid I used to have a huge preference for first-person stories because it made it easier for me to connect with the protagonist. Nowadays I don't really notice, but a lot of my favorite books are told in first-person and I think are better off that way.

+1000. OP is a fool.

I don't get it either. I mean, I gravitate to urban fantasy, and first person seems to be the default there anyway, but I've always preferred it. I don't always write in it, because the story doesn't always lend itself to first person, but when it does, you bet your ass I'm going to.

Hell, I was 4200 words into writing a story not long ago before it told me that third person was all wrong and it wanted to be in first. And, yeah, I went back and changed it.

Present tense, however, can sod right off unless it's Charlie Stross or something short.

Oh, a thousand times this. Almost a quarter of my fanfics were written in first person because of what you said.
