I've been doing a lot of thinking about the response that shows up sometimes on QQ regarding the story and the Targaryens. It goes back to some of what I was doing when I was initially drafting for the story.
See, I wrote Terrible, Yes, but Great in third person limited, with thoughts and other things that really made it feel personal. As I got to the end of it(presuming I didn't want to ever do the potential third/fourth arc) and began considering another story(which eventually became Mistakes Were Made) I wanted to do a first person style story, where the story was told in first person from every character's perspective, showing how it blended.Fast forward to Aak Daar Dovah, and I thought, well, I didn't finish the first person only thing I had planned, but I did try it. So maybe not do that for ADD despite my initial thought being to do so(to make up for having not finished the other in that style).
Instead, I decided to kind of hybridize, and make it so that Ysmir was always told in first person, and all of the other characters of the story were told in third person, which made for an interesting observational telling style, as if we're reading the story as he saw it in some cases, and then as things were(from other perspectives).I've been wondering though if this switch (third person always in other people, first person in him) might contribute in part at least to the feelings that a lot of people have regarding the Targaryen side being... like disconnected? So I want to hear the Patrons thoughts on this idea.
Should I consider going back and editing the other perspectives all into first person as well (making the story told in first person always, with different perspectives) or should I leave it as it is?The poll isn't the deciding factor, it's just that I want to see where everyone else's head is at and I know a lot of you are lurkers who don't say much.
Post thoughts below, and an explanation if you feel strongly some way.
