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.

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. :)

Gotta say I prefer past tense (she sat down, etc.) As long as it's consistent. Changing of tenses doesn't fail to catch my eye.

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

[/quote]thanks for the tips. I usually write in third pov but the major problem is my grammar and vocab. I tried to maintain using the past tense and put the -ed in all words but I don't think its working. 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.

DA x2 but for me I write in 3rd person limited since I can't really picture myself writing "I" if the story is about SNSD/ I'm using any snsd member as my character and as childish as it is, I want Yuri's name all over my story lol

Oh I did. 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 :huh:

That was just bad luck and he was being an asshole, lol. 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.

da I thought 1st person is limited but it's the easily but I can only max out 2 chapters writing 1st person lmfao. 3rd person is kind of hard, I think mostly because I write in 1st person so it's bit difficult switch.

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. :P

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

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)
