Hey I realize I maybe shouldn't be posting essays here, this is not a writing school. And I'm not even a professional writer, in fact totally unqualified, but I used to write fanfics and such which is what we're discussing here so... well I just feel like I want to help. Spoiler: click to toggle So about first vs third person, don't mix mid-chapter as a principle, I definitely wouldn't mix mid-story either but might just be me. Just choose one. Now maybe all of this will be obvious, maybe not, and remember it's just my personal thoughts anyway. And I can only guess how much writing you've done etc  so you know... grain of salt. First person: -overall way more difficult to pull off -if done correctly: the next level of immersion for the reader (absolutely impossible to achieve to the same extent from third person) -some potential readers won't read your story because of it -one of the not so obvious difficulties which especially comes into play here: you have to leave your own self behind. What this means and why I'm saying not so obvious is you must stay in the narrator's head absolutely all the time, even if you choose not to reveal their thoughts etc outright at all. Even in the most emptiness-minimalist type of story there's usually gonna be actions, events, things like that, not just naked dialogue. Well now every action is seen, heard, felt, smelled and tasted by your narrator. You gotta keep consciously thinking how they perceive it. And why this is such a problem, well because many authors simply can't go out of their own head for hours and hours on end, it's kinda a skill that you posses or you don't, so they end up writing a story about themselves instead of their main character (been there done that). And I mean who knows, that might not be a bad thing, but probably not something you wanna have happen in a SNSD fanfic right. -goes very well with present tense -you can get away with little actual plot if your main character is strong enough -some writers consider first person somehow "higher level" and the "real" way to write and all that bullshit (personally disagree) Third person: -easy -most readers will be delighted (it's natural, it's like a movie) -careful about characters' thoughts, maybe you wanna make one particular character the "exposed" one and share some of their thoughts, maybe not and go full on movie style, it's entirely up to you. But in my experience stories where the narrator reveals thoughts of more than one character always end up boring, it's just not gonna make the reader curious enough to continue if they already know everything about everybody. -careful about descriptive crap. You need some of that obviously, but one of the common problems is descriptive paragraphs getting in the way of the story. So you know, if you're beginning to think there might be too much of it, chances are there's way too much. Dunno if you personally got that tendency to go overdescriptive, but anyway it might sometimes help to try and put yourself in a character's shoes first person style for a moment, and just ask yourself: would I really pay attention to all that? -goes well with past tense I guess -in most cases you want a nice and solid plot line to build on, the same strong character that carried the first person story is just another person "on the screen" here, it's just not the same type of impact. You don't get the same immersion effect no matter what you do. -last thing, about the names etc, this usually happens in third person stories so guess I'll say it here: You might end up with a ton of repeating names/pronouns - this is not a problem. Nobody uses things like "the tan girl" in real life narration EVER (at least not in any of the languages I know). Just repeat everything as many times you need and forget about it. source: years of pain lol
It's weird to read that some people find first person more difficult. It's always been the cheap style for me because I find it ridiculously easy to pull off, whereas third person feels more challenging to properly get a hang of. x2 For me, first person is way easier to write.

So, other than POV stuff, what do y'all prefer when it comes to tenses? (I think that's what I mean, lol). Like, she sits down vs. she sat down and so on.

This will sound really stupid but is it ok to switch between povs (like first/third person) mid chapter?

I have no idea wtf am I writing That's where beta readers come in, I think, they're really helpful and you can learn quite a bit from them as well. You should give them a try.

But he didn't really explain my mistake or maybe I am too dumb to understand this shit. And then he became annoying as hell when his comment sounds harsh? It's not that I cannot accept criticism but the way he did made me think twice to accept beta reader anymore. Sometimes, I do ask my readers about my english and they say it's good/its not that bad etc.. but I didn't believe them

All the betas I've worked with have been super nice and helpful, you should give them another go, and if you get another asshole, just flip him/her, it's your story after all, you make the calls.

Not a fan of writing fic in first person, but I totally relate to 3rd person limited. Feels the most natural for me, at least.

whenever you're good tell me thank you  Well, you can send it me now, and I'll get to work on it when I have some free time to spend on it. Via PM, or another medium?
Just as a forewarning, though, I can be incredibly critical. Are you okay with that? If not, you should probably find a more lenient beta.

whenever you're good tell me thank you 
Well, you can send it me now, and I'll get to work on it when I have some free time to spend on it. Via PM, or another medium? Just as a forewarning, though, I can be incredibly critical. Are you okay with that? If not, you should probably find a more lenient beta. I'll probably get a lot of criticism (and get hurt ) knowing how bad my writing probably is but regardless of that I want to learn and know what I'm lack at so I can work on it. hehe
Spoiler: click to toggle emails? because I don't have acc here, if you could give me your email then edit (to erase) since you can do that and i can't. or i could make an acc here

Don't be discouraged if you do get criticism - everyone starts somewhere, but as long as you persist, you should improve quickly.

the author's work was great - I said I immensely enjoyed it  thank you author-nim yes you enjoyed it after you changed it to fit your ship. can't stop people from doing that, but understand that authors usually pick pairings for a reason so when you change them youre essentially altering their work and that affects the integrity of the piece. it's not something to brag about
a simple "i really liked it" wouldve been enough, you didnt have to add the rest

but on the other hand come on it's not the worst thing as could happen in the fanfic world right, I mean we could use our time better like reporting rapists on aff going after our girls instead of ganging up on sc so (I shot down a huuuuuuuge sprawling out descriptive kinda fic today, it's really a satisfying feeling)
