Change of POV is ok if there is a line break/segment break indicator to clarify it AND/OR that it is more acceptable in romance/sex scenes.

That's a fascinating comment. I was doing some research into slash (as I am wont to do) and came across someone looking at it from obviously outside of fandom but this person commented that often in slash the POV switches back and forth as a way to explore both characters as part of the sexual element. At the time, I thought, "WTF? I don't know anybody who does that!" but you've just indicated that that is seen as a legitimate reason to do so. Wow.

and another beta who likes to know what both people are thinking.

So does the second beta encourage you to write multiple POVs or to write in third person omniscient?

Thank you for rambling! Come by anytime. :)
