I'm always a little baffled by the 1st person POV hate. I think that 3rd person POV is a lot more forgiving of mistakes and inexperience, and maybe that gives 1st (and 2nd!) POV a bad rap? I've read some 1st person POV stuff that's flat-out horrible. I've also read some 1st person POV stuff that's incredible and awesome and amazing. Seems a bit silly to me to miss out on the latter just because the former exists.
I don't know. I don't tend to write it myself, because I'm actually not great at maintaining that close a connection with the character over the course of a story, and I totally suck at writing action in 1st person POV. I like having a bit of distance between myself and what I'm writing, so I stick to 3rd person POV, though I might experiment with it someday. I did a 2nd person POV thing just on a lark, and had a lot of fun with it. I'm perfectly happy to read it, though, both in fic and original works. Also, your 1st person POV Draco is amazing and wonderful and you should keep writing that forever and ever. ::nodnod::
