I'm developing an idea for a new story and I'm at the bit where I try to figure out what POV I'm going to use. I don't like writing in 2nd, so that leaves 1st and 3rd. I'm also working on the protagonist's character and right now have the option for them to be either male or female. I'm curious what peoples preference might be, either as an author, reader, or both? I've given two votes per person in the poll.
I tend to default to 3rd person female. Although I'm debating a story told entirely through correspondence which might allow for a more interesting 1st person approach. 2nd person is more common in game stories and the like.
3rd was always my default but I seem to have slowly moved to 1st. I love the idea of a story told entirely through correspondence. I can't think of them now but I know there are books written entirely as letters, and more recently as emails. It's a great premise, I'd love to read it.
