Why it's hard to like stories written in first person

[Esquilax]

Though I generally prefer third person omniscient narration as a writer for all the flexibility it affords me, I have to admit that my forays into first person have been rather nice too. I don't know why, but occasionally the shift in perspective inspires me to cut out a lot of the poetry and descriptive stuff I usually put in and write in-character more immersively.

That said, first person is only a vacation style; I'll always come home to third.
