I find it a little easier to get into something written in third person, it takes me a bit to find my reading rhythm when I come across an h/d fic that's in first person
I think I agree with you there. It can throw you at the beginning of a fic when there's a distinctive narrative voice and you're not sure if you like it or not!
It was interesting to me to realise how many of my favourite novels are in 1st person, and I wondered whether I have been influenced by those much loved books in my own writing, or whether it's just a preference for me that I prefer to feel really IN THERE, whether I'm reading or writing.
Thanks for your vote of confidence that I might be able to pull it off! I hope you're right.
