Reading stories that are written in present tense? Gad, I hate it. As a result, I probably have missed some good stories but telling a story in present tense just seems out of place. Is it just me? As soon as I read the first line and find it's written like this, I take a pass on the story.
Whether the story is written in first, second, or third person, I still think it should be in past tense, except for dialogue of course.
