Second Person Narrative
Nov. 2nd, 2012 08:46 pmDid you know that this week I wrote 3k words of a fanfic in second person narrative? And that I posted it and thought absolutely nothing of it?
Absolutely nothing.
This is what the Homestuck fandom does to you. You don't feel strange at all writing in a style that used to make you recoil whenever you encountered it in fanfiction before reading Homestuck.
And that you've NEVER WRITTEN IN IT BEFORE. Except maybe when you were 12 and thought briefly that writing a Choose Your Own Adventure book would be really awesome. (See what I did there?)
Now second person is just like reading third person for me, as long as I know what character the fic is about I'm perfectly happy to read along like I'm vicariously living though their horrible life experiences.
... yup. Thank you Homestuck. You win a cookie. Or something. "You stumble through the kitchen and pick up a cookie and stuff it in your mouth, savoring the delightful crumbly goodness. Is that even a thing?" There.
Absolutely nothing.
