Point Of View
Hello.
As a fanfic writer, I always want to please my readers; to satisfy them with my stories and writing style. There are several major points that need to be made before writing and point of view is one of them.
I use third point of view in most of my stories. It gives me more freedom and flexibility for transitions between scenes and it also helps me to develop the characters better. I can also tell the readers about what the other characters are doing in one chapter rather than using the first point of view. It's fun and easy to use third point of view.
However, I, several times, did write using first point of view. It allows me to understand more about the protagonist (main character); it also allows the readers to be part of the character's world and identity. Although first point of view has limitations, it can give a strong connection between the readers and the protagonist.
I'm preparing a new story but the problem is I can't decide whether I should write it in first or third point of view. One time, I want to write it as the first point of view but another time, I want to use third. Of course, I won't be switching point of view...it's too complicated.
So what do you suggest? Which point of view do you like to read? First of Third?
xoxo :)
