I have noticed significant number of people cannot get past the use of second person. After consulting with a mod, I have decided to add a chapter at the end of my stories that will be the entire story reformatted to be in first person. As I work through my posted works, I will update the descriptions to reflect this. I'll list the stories here as I do so.
July. Not very much has happened in the last month, other than Will hooking up with Vinnie, and the two being inseparable. I kind of wish this had happened sooner. It gets him out of my hair, and them both across the street where two extra spaces appear here at home. And our insect gets a very fine meal indeed out of it. How come this cannot happen for the lot is anyone's guess. How I dearly want and wish for some lonesomeness. Ironic, since the world is vacant. But I'm not leaving the
Besides the above being an obscure Abbott and Costello reference, the title of this short essay describes a difference between the narration of first person and third person stories. You know who is telling the story written in first person; it's the main character of the story. In a third person narrative, you usually don't know who's actually telling the story.
Never trying to get involved with anybody again. Never. Only those I'm with to begin with. That dirty stiff will pay. Fuck her. Fuck her royal. I'm here in the desert where I came in. This illustration world is great and all, but it's not home, nor where the others are. And I cannot get used to these ridiculous horse puns everywhere. Fuck them. I love the ponies I have encountered, what I saw. But I cannot stand living in a place like this. Saccharine and babyish, an idealist and
First person's kind of odd. Most of us, at least here in America, go through three stages of writing. You start with personal narratives, where you voice your opinions, research, and ideas in essays from your point of view. You're probably completely apathetic at this stage. Someone's telling you to do something, and it's work, and for a grade, so you do it. And maybe you do it well—but you do it well within the confines of the system. You say what your teacher likes, you obsess over the
I was one of the many, many changelings who were there during the incident at the messhall.
I was about eleven or twelve at the time, and, like most incidents at the changeling hive, it all happened on a relatively normal day. The majority was just getting their daily meal that, for once, wasn’t love or any emotion whatsoever. Though, I will say I’d very much prefer the taste of love than (presumably) edible moss that’s sometimes served there.
Ugh I can't decide. This is the main thing keeping me from writing. I don't want it to be the generic cringy human in equestria with like me talking about it, but when I do third person it feels just as weird cause I overuse him, his, he, he's and etc. I used at least 6 different of those in like 2 sentences. And I just feel like the third person takes away from the experience. Man I just don't know. What do you guys think? Give me advice in the comments (if anyone actually reads this).
That apple girl hasn't been the best host ever. She seems to tire quickly of us, and apparently has precious little patience for no good slackers. Likely thinks we can go on forever. Well the joke's on her.
Miss Ginger here has been on our asses for the better part of this day, and she has no apparent intent to stop. Third day here, and she has contacted someone else.
I find myself agreeing with this. (There has been some talk about this recently in the Human in Equestria group) Don't get me wrong, he's useful for funny one-shots and short sex stories. Yes, I Bendy lord of trashy Anon Second Person fics knows they are trash.
If you have been following my novel, Sunset Shimmer Goes to Hell, today I published a different chapter. It is also a new chapter. It's different in that it introduces an new character, in first person point-of-view, as hinted in the first chapter of the novel. Some of you who have read other long fiction by me will recognize the new character soon enough. To be clear, it is the same story. It's simply that the story requires different points to contrast the reality of intersecting
Some of you who follow me may know that I am a published author, though no where near as successful as I want to be. Yes, I have a day job.
I’m pretty sure that all of you have read more than one story in your life, and I’d bet that most of you noticed that stories can be told from a variety of perspectives. If you prefer a somewhat fancier term, such a perspective can be also called a point of view (POV for short). Types of POVs, their usage, and common pitfalls are what’s this miniguide going to be about. Just like in case of the guides previously published here (and archived in my blogs), this is meant primarily for beginners
Greetings, my fellow adventurers of the FimFiction realm,
Today, I stand before you with a tale that has captured my heart and imagination like none other. A tale of transformation, friendship, and the kind of extraordinary bonds that form in the most unlikely of circumstances.
Welcome back readers, to Being a Better Writer! Yes, it's a day late, but I warned you guys. Unfortunately, I have that part-time job, and sometimes that means they want me for most or all of Monday.
Hi everyone, how are you all?
One of the attractive things about writing in the first person is that the narrator's point of view is by definition both subjective and biased. Anything "I" says is always* tied to what "I" noticed. What "I" understood is then filtered through biases to make it to the printed page. Those biases can range from "that's not important" to "I can't confess to that" to "well that's so interesting, I have to tell everyone about this!" If the "I" in the story is consciously a narrator, "I" can
I once told my good friend Professor Plum that I could make any Rarity ship work, damn it, and he asked if he could put that to the test by commissioning me. Even though I don't take commissions, I agreed because I wanted to see if I could do it.
I figured I'd preview it for y'all.
EDIT: Thanks to FOME for suggesting changing Prada to Rara in the title
How much should you use dialect or constructed language? Very little. Note that I did not write not at all.
By dialect, I mean implying a southern drawl, or using specific words that imply a regional accent like “Darling!”1 or “Don’t ya know?“ or “A?” or “Brilliant”. By a constructed language, I mean everything from completely made up words to totally made up grammars. This includes writing in English but using a foreign grammar like Spanish or Japanese.

And the story already continues! This happened faster than I thought. There was a short thunderstorm on Monday and this means I could sit down and write the first update after the start and initial announcement.
I want to try out another writing experiment. A couple weeks ago, I was sitting here at my computer during a thunderstorm at night, when I suddenly heard the crying of a little girl coming in through my open window. Followed by a flash of lightning. It was an eerie cry and it got me to think about what things might lurk outside during such a thunderstorm in the middle of the night. And then there was this sentence in my head, this question..... "Maybe the little girl needed help?". Of course it
