I have always tried sticking to just one point of view when I write. Sometimes, I have not succeeded. It's difficult enough in writing slash sometimes to identify the character's action/speech when you have two (or more - and don't get me starte on that) he's or a couple of she's in the scene.
Aha- that comment again about it being "more okay" if you're writing a sex scene. I'm fascinated by that! I think that it's in slash sex scenes (hopefully just two; I don't know that I could write a threesome again, it's such a struggle with the pronouns) that really talented writers show their colors by sticking with one POV and me not being confused as a reader. It takes a lot of work.
You always come up with such great topics of conversation, ya know!
You're so kind! This really did come up due to a recent incident, and putting the topic out in front of fellow authors has proven to be a very fertile discussion. Thank you so much for joining in!
