Hey Everyone. Its ME! So I was thinking. Is it better to write in 1st person or 3rd person? (2nd person is just lame) They both have their strengths. you can say anything you want to with 1st, but with 3rd you ahve a more proffesional, satisfying feel to your story. If your doing a major project then its best to do one or the other. but HEY. your opinions are the only thing that i want (cuz im only 12) So if you want to then leave me your comments. Thanks! 2007-11-15T14:36:59Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/12396 <p>I&#8217;m not sure what I use&#8230;.Im soooo confused&#8230;But good question and comments!!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12396?basename=23270 2007-11-15T14:36:59Z Brebelles http://ficlets.com/authors/brebelles <p>wow&#8230;I&#8217;m learning A LOT from just reading this :) I wish I had something to add..but I don&#8217;t. srry :(</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12396?basename=22772 2007-11-12T15:55:15Z Blossom Ruoqen http://ficlets.com/authors/stainedglasstears <p>I always forget the difference. :D</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12396?basename=21548 2007-11-05T21:47:12Z Lone Writer http://ficlets.com/authors/solopen <p>hmm. after reading all this, and all the comments, i noticed tht i always write in first person =O hmm. i guess it&#8217;s easier for me?<br />~<br />I think it just depends on the story tht ur writing. whichever makes it flow more, whichever comes easier.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12396?basename=20624 2007-11-01T14:59:11Z One Time, One Chance http://ficlets.com/authors/one_chance <p>Thanks Dr. Lew.</p> <p>Third person omnificient?

I wouldn&#8217;t say it&#8217;s a matter of professionalism, but in Laine&#8217;s light, especially when I&#8217;m trying to make a character seem vulnerable (excepting Adrien/Grasshopper&#8217;s case), I love to use first person.<br />Second person, however, can broaden the whole perspective of the story and plot, and you can skip around more. However, I incorporated both first and second in the Endless Corridor series (gosh, I sound like a stuck-up jerk) and it worked fine.<br />I&#8217;m another 12-year-old, so hope this helps.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12396?basename=20382 2007-10-30T23:51:19Z Stovohobo http://ficlets.com/authors/stovohobo <p>i often write in third person as I feel then I can let the reader make their own decisions and assumptions about the characters opinion and I often use &#8211; he or she &#8211; as then it adds a layer of anonymity and I can reveal who they are later</p> <p>i mix and match when I&#8217;m writing &#8211; like the main story in third and snippets and sections in the first person to show urgency and immediacy or to reveal their thoughts&#8230;i think it&#8217;s more fun that way</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12396?basename=20377 2007-10-30T23:39:33Z artistsrunwild http://ficlets.com/authors/artistsrunwild <p>Yeah, good point man, I personally find that 3rd person feels better as it makes the book more broad. (plus it really fits good when you have your main character for it) but its hard to write with, ive come stumped in my books when i write in 3rd person.</p> <p>1st person is easier to write with, but it makes the book seem a bit less proffessional and your opions are limited to what you want other characters to feel.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12396?basename=20374 2007-10-30T23:31:01Z The 13 Year-Old http://ficlets.com/authors/user_5927 <p>Personally, I find that first person is my favorite. It makes the character seem more vulnerable and more human.<br />Although, third person allows the reader to view the minds of many characters.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12396?basename=20373 2007-10-30T23:28:32Z Laine the Grey http://ficlets.com/authors/lainegrey
