Exactly. If you're writing fanfic in first person, you not only have to match the voice of the character - which is an even bigger challenge if they're not from a book in first person - but you have to either match the reader's perception of that character's voice or write so convincingly as to convert the reader. First person in original works is a different thing altogether.

Perfectly put.

Only necessary comment in this thread, tbh.

OP

I can understand the argument that it's hard to do first person in fanfiction, or at least hard to do it in a way most people will like. But then when people go on to complain about all first person writing ever everywhere... I really don't know what they're thinking.

(Anonymous) 2013-02-03 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
But that's true of third person too. Especially when it is close focus on one character or omniscient. Getting the "voice" and actions of a character to match the reader's perceptions is half the art of fanfiction.
