(Anonymous) 2013-02-02 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)But, yeah, I have to say I'm one of those people who thinks they've earned their crappy reputation in fanfic. But I don't think it's something 'new' at all. I've been reading fic for more than 15 years now and I remember even back then lots of fan writers looked askance at 1st person fics because of the OOC potential.
Another thing that crops up a lot more in 1st person writing as the 'extreme emotional empath' protagonist and the 'so many feels I'm bursting with them' protagonist. I think because a lot of writers are trying to shoe-horn in a more omniscient look at the rest of the cast without switching POVs, and so they wind up with really clumsy OOC writing for the MC. Like, I can't count how many times I've seen characters who are canonically pretty oblivious, like Thor, spending entire chapters admiring how attractive and tragic everyone else is.
