fikgirl and I are co-writing a novel. Due to the way we're writing it (yay, email!), the point of view (POV) bounces back and forth between the main characters. There are cases where a chapter is entirely in one character's POV, alternates between two POVs, and takes turns with up to five characters' POVs. On one hand, all of this vacillation allows you to see multiple characters' perceptions of the same event. On the other, it might be confusing as hell.
Since the thought of editing this monster to the typical "one POV per scene or chapter" gives me heart palpitations, I thought I'd ask for your opinion. Forget the fact that
fikgirl and I are the authors. We really want to know what you think. If we have to do major rewriting/editing, so be it.
On with the poll!
