Whenever you write a story, which point perspective do you like to used the most, and why?
First person?
Second person?
Third person?
Personally, I feel more connected to my character when I use first person, as cliche and overused it may be. I kinda also want the reader to feel more connected to the character as well...plus it's the one that comes more naturally to me. Occasionally though, I'll use second and third when appropriate, or when I feel the writing needs a little "umph" to make it more interesting.

I tend to use first person a lot, because i also feel it brings a more intimate connection to the characters. It's easier to have the reader understand emotions when you're writing in first person. I find it kind of messy to be very descriptive in first person though because i end up writing like three paragraphs trying to explain something short and it's usually all jumbled.
I usually like using third person because when i write it just tends to flow more descriptively, i don't have to try as hard for myself to tell something and it not sound like utter foolishness.

I like first the best I think the fact that I (the reader) not knowing what the other characters are thinking or the reason behind their actions gives the story more suspense
and when and if I write I prefer first person

I prefer first person. But, sometimes I"ll switch over to third person, because third person knows all. ;D

Well there are two third persons. There is omniscient, which is all knowing, or limited. Which is basically as it sounds. I prefer third person limited really, but sometimes I will switch to first person depending on what I am writing. Some things just turn out better in first person then third.

I like writing in third person-limited usually, though I have a few stories recently that have insisted on first-person. The one I'm writing for the SuWriMos, I'm writing in third omniscient. Might change, might not. It's a Steampunk story, so I might just keep it third omniscient since the style fits with the "Victoriana" scheme.
