First Person Narritive in Fanfiction.

Good reason to not read: because it makes me feel as if I am that character in the story and that isn’t the reading experience Im looking for.

Bad reason not to read: assuming that a first person narrative is bad writing or silly

Good reaction when coming across one: Minding my damn business if i dont like it because the story was free for me and other to enjoy. So if i dont like it I can quietly fuck off.

Bad reaction: leaving disappointed or rude comments about it being first person instead of third.

While a first person narrative isn’t the type of reading experience I like in fanfiction that doesn’t make it bad writing. The people who write these stories put just as much work and feeling into it as other authors so if you cant appreciate that they do this for free then you can leave.
