First, second, third person? Past or present? (Future even?) Limited or omniscient?

Also, if it is different for reading as opposed to writing, tell me why! I’m curious.

    Reader-inserts aren’t my cup of tea either.

    I might do something in second person (of a canon character) soon for fun. Especially as I have this horror idea and borzoiteeth mentioned how mystery/horror can really work like that. Which I’ve heard expressed about horror by others too. Time to try it out!

      Definitely. I think there’s always merit in trying out different modes of writing. And honestly, even when I generally dislike something, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to find an instance in which I just feel it really works, whether for the effect or what have you.
