    Hello Authors, I'm new to the site and I have a question about the etiquette of changing something about a story when you start a new path. Specifically I'm looking at starting a new path off a story prompt, but the story uses 2nd person perspective, and I would be more comfortable writing in 3rd person. Would this be seen as some sort of faux pas? Or something to not even worry about.
    If it makes a difference the original story author hasn't been on in a few years, so would probably never even see my branch.
    Thanks for any advice.

    I'm very much a solo writer, so take this with a grain of salt... but if I were an original author, and someone like you came in and made that kind of transition, I wouldn't mind in the slightest.
