I prefer 1st person. I like the limitations of showing everything from the perspective of just a single character~

3rd person can be fun too though, I don't mind reading 3rd person... But I definitely prefer 1st person and always write like that~

Mainly 1st but I'll use 3rd person as an alternative. It really depends on the story though.

1st person for most of the time, but I'm actually more comfortable using 3rd person.

The reason why is the tone when I use 3rd person feel somber, like there is an impending doom coming. My story is a crazy adventure, not a sad one.

it is a puzzle how to get into the right headspace to write sometimes
For me, it's mostly about the tenses, I don't know a single thing about grammar or structures or anything, so it's pretty weird.

i do 1st or 3rd most commonly, though i've done a one shot in 2nd, which was interesting.

I use the third person, personally, but I'm right now trying to write first person, as internal monologues. I'm trying to experiment right now, to see if it fits in my style and story.

I use first person (past) most of the time so far.

I have also done third person, just to try it out, in Inclement Proposal

I should totally try first person present sometime...

Also second person....
