POV Poll

[wook77]

I've been having a discussion with a few friends (fandom and non-fandom) about POV. We each had our own likes and dislikes about POV.

So, since I now know how to do a poll, I thought I'd post one here and open it up to a larger discussion group. I normally hate people who say pimp far and wide (and yes, I do mean me as well in that statement) but I'd really like a larger sampling than my flist (not that I don't love you as I do).

What do you think of POV?

ETA: Before clicking submit, please note the scale used! 1=YAY and 10=UGH. If you need to change your responses - click on "view poll results" followed by "take this poll". That should allow you to change your responses.

Don't get me started on POV, *shakes head*, that was a headache I didnt need. I'm not a fan of any, but I love all, any fic written, from any perspective , if done well. As for changing POV, *groans*, some people have a real issue with it with in a fic. I do not. Somehow I think that 'Dear Reader' should be able to realise you've shifted POV or characters. This is either done by a location shift, a tense shift, or just the way they talk or who they are talking to.

Chaeldub thought POV changes were good and should be attempted more often. :D

err, sorry? *grins* *offers biscuit* Better? As long as it's done well, I don't mind so much although like I said above, 2nd person eventually starts to wear on me if the story is longer than about 2k.
