Writing Questions

My preferred POV is third person, with the thoughts of one character included- what your chart calls Thrid Person Omniscient Limited...

I got bitched out because "Passing The Torch" was limited to one POV instead of both characters.

In "Sarabande" I try to include the thoughts of both main characters, and I've gotten complaints about it from people who say that it's confusing. So whatever. Maybe editing would help that, since I'm just not comfortable with it in the first place...

I have first person subjective- SO much fun! in Mad Moll. It makes me laugh every time I read it, so it's successful for one reader at least :p

"The Baroness' Boy", I find from your chart, is written in Third objective- with no dialogue at all. I've had both roses and tomatoes thrown at me for that. I like it very much, I think it was a very successful experimeent.
 
I'm most comfortable in first person, despite the limits it places on me...but 3rd person Omni is working it's way into my repretoire thanks to my collaborations with that lovely impetuous one...

Sorry, but that story is way too long and I'm threadjacking enough as it is. ;)
