POVs

Just me being curious about what POVs I tend to write for LSK. :)

A Rose for Your Hair
Judgment 1st person POV (past tense)

A Taste of More
Judgment 3rd person POV (limited, past tense)

A Vice-Captain's Tale
Tyler 1st person POV (past tense)

Behind Closed Doors
Sun 3rd person POV (not completely limited, past tense)

Bittersweet Sweetness
Judgment & Sun alternating 1st person POV (past tense)

Dead in the Knight
Sun 1st person POV (past tense)

Entries in a Holy Knight's Journal
1st person POV, one per holy knight, starting with Judgment's 1st person POV (so far, I've only written Judgment, Earth, Leaf, Storm, and Blaze) (past tense)

Even in Darkness, the Sun Shines
Adair 3rd person POV (more omniscient than limited, past tense))

Fifteen Going on Sixty (Going on Fifteen)
Pope 1st person POV (past tense)

Follow the Sign
Adair 3rd person POV (limited, present tense)

Grace
Sun 1st person POV (past tense)

Invincible, that is the Legend
3rd person POV featuring omniscient to limited, one character per chapter (so far, no chapters from Prince's or Sun's POVs yet. I've featured Aldrizzt, Neo, Gui, Chasel, Adair, Wicked, Storm, and Sunshine so far. I don't think either Prince or Sun will get a POV, as I like writing the POVs from more minor characters, and we already know LSK through Grisia... maybe Prince will get a POV) (past tense)

Lessons in Demeanor
Earth 3rd person POV (not completely limited, past tense)

My Friend, the Pope (in-training)
1st person POV from all of Grisia's friends (will not feature a POV from Grisia) (past tense)

The Impressive Adair Fan Club
3rd person omniscient (past tense)

The Road to Becoming Impressive
3rd person omniscient (past tense)

This is Your Wake Up Call
Judgment 1st person POV (past tense)

So, the rundown! Out of 17 fics...

Past tense: 16
Present tense: 1
1st person POV: 9
3rd person POV: 8
Judgment 1st person: 3
Sun 1st person: 3
Tyler 1st person: 1
Pope 1st person: 1
Different 1st person per chapter: 2 (Judgment, Earth, Leaf, Storm, Blaze, Roland, Elijah written so far for these)
Different 3rd person per chapter: 1 (Aldrizzt, Neo, Chasel, Adair, Storm written so far for this)
Judgment-centric: 4
Adair-centric: 4 (well, 5 with Behind Closed Doors)
3rd person omniscient: 2
Judgment 3rd person: 1
Sun 3rd person: 1
Earth 3rd person: 1
Adair 3rd person: 2

Conclusion. I think I actually write Judgment the most. Huh... I even started out with writing Judgment for Entries in a Holy Knight's Journal (my first LSK fic). I thought maybe Sun's POV would be the most prominent, but he's not... not exactly... I like writing Sun just fine, but I like writing from other POVs more since we already have his thoughts from canon. I do like writing about what other characters think about him though, hence "My Friend, the Pope (in-training)" which features a bunch of POVs EXCEPT his. ;) I love writing about Adair, though I never feel up to writing from his 1st person POV. It's always 3rd person or omniscient. I want to write more about Adair...

Of course, this doesn't take into account fic length. Bittersweet Sweetness makes it feel like I'm only ever writing about Judgment and Sun. =P In general, I feel I have a good spread of characters. But it seems that I've yet to write anything from Ice, Moon, Metal, Stone, and Cloud. Hm, gotta fix that~. (As for Roland, I've only written chapter 1 of My Friend, the Pope (in-training) from his POV... otherwise, I haven't featured him much yet. Many of my fics are set before he shows up in canon... Haha, I even have a fic about the Pope, and a fic about Tyler, but no Roland-centric fic... I suppose he is the main "antagonist" in two of the fics... and he is important in A Vice-Captain's Tale... Even though he won't show up until the very end...

I definitely use past tense way more than present tense, but I like to switch it up sometimes. Writing LSK is awesome in that no one bats an eye when you use 1st person (and might even prefer if you use 1st person). I like to switch it up between 1st and 3rd too, though I tend to lean more towards omniscient 3rd person if I'm not writing 1st person for LSK.

I reaaaally like flitting around POVs. *looks at Invincible, Entries in a Holy Knight's Journal, My Friend the Pope....*

Dishonest Honesty would have been alternating Storm and Earth POVs, but I think I'm dropping that fic...

A Hundred Times Over will probably be Sun, 1st person. Hm.... I find that kind of boring. XD;; Maybe I should rethink this... I don't want it to become stagnant like Grace!
