Pat writes in the FORTY-SECOND perspective.
Bartemius helps him with it.

| First person. Though in fanfics, I do third. First is the way to go though. I like to be able to let the reader know exactly what the character is thinking. |

Third person, in both fanfiction and my original writing. I'm really attracted to it, and I don't know why. Maybe because it's easier to write than in the other POVS, and yes I've tried them.

...well, maybe not all of them. |

I write in both first and third perspectives. However, I most enjoy the first person perspective. I, as a writer, can feel much more for the main character and is much easier to write with. My best works, I would say, are in first person. But I do have a few third person works out there.
First person, I would say, is the way to go. ^_~

That Buchanan perspective intrigues me. From what I know about quantum physics and the other dimensions, the first five dimensions pan-out like this. The first is a dot. Sedond is flat and is common. Third dimension is the addition of depth to second dimension drawings. The fourth dimension is the three planes with the additional perspective of time. The fifth dimension is just time itself and there was another intricavy to it, but I don't remember what that was.
If it's not too much trouble, could someone send me a sample of the of the Buchanan perspective? If it's just a joke, then I'd feel pretty stupid after all of that. Someone please tell me though. |

I said no preference. I write in first and third. I suppose I use first more often, but I really just do what the story requires.
God help me if a story ever requires Buchanan Perspective. |

My style changes between novels, although I would probably have to agree with many other people and go for First and Third person.
Thank you for opening my eyes to the Buchanan Perspective, which I had no idea existed until about thirty seconds ago...

The all powerful omniscient third person! I like to know everything about every character in the story. So when I write, I want to give my readers that same knowledge.
I'll occasionally write in first person but pretty much only if it's a flashback.
Second person makes my head hurt.
And, well, the Buchanan Perspective, that makes my head hurt even more. |

If anyone here has read The Fall of Atlantis by Marion Zimmer Bradley, that's the sort of way I write. It's third person, but at certain point it focuses on stuff revolving around one character and switches throughout the story. That way, I can focus on my male character for a bit, then on my female character, and have their thoughts and such during that time, but give a broader view of the other characters as well. I used to write in first person but found it quite boring.
