I have DVDs!

Sep 29, 2007 23:42

I am now the proud owner of the S2 SPN DVDs AND the S1 Heroes DVDs! Other than S1 SPN, I’ve never owned a boxed set of a TV show in my life.

I finished my spn_remix fic and sent it off last night, so that was a relief. I’ve also started my spn_fairytales fic-I think I’m about 700 words in. It’s a John/Mary fic, which is a first for me, but it’s more gen than ( Read more... )

writing, poll, heroes, spn

For the most part, I prefer one character's POV, just because I am a huge fan of the possibilities that that presents -- unreliable narration = ♥ -- but in some fics I think it works fine to have more than one character's POV. I just want there to be some reason why having just one character's POV wouldn't work as well as using more than one character's POV.

I am currently trying to decide what to do in a long fic--I want to try it with one POV, but there are a few details that I'll have to cut early on for it to work, and I haven't figured out how that should happen.

I've also recently read some pro-fic that has shifting POV (at chapter breaks, etc.) and it worked in those particular books, but you know, they were professionals and pulled it off. ;D

Hmm. How important are these details to the plot? And is there any other way you could present them -- like, in dialogue further down the line?

They actually feel pretty crucial to the set-up of the plot, BUT, once that early scene is done, then it could become a one person POV. And it doesn't seem like one little tiny scene is enough to continue with shifting POV.

I'm thinking I'll cut the scenes, and make it one person POV, and try the dialogue revelations later on in the fic.

I'd thought about that before, but this is very helpful--it's making me motivated to actually try it. :D :D :D

I mean, J.K. Rowling pulled that trick all the time, and no one called her on it, so I say go for it. :D

LOL very true! (And well, I love Rowling and the HP books to pieces, but there are some SPN fanfic authors that can kick her ass in terms of technique.) *hides from the masses* :D

YOU INSULTED J.K. ROWLING?! *beats with a broom*

Except that dude, you're totally right, haha. <3
