For anything over 1k I always write in 3rd person and I wasn't sure why until I read all these comments. I guess 1st person can be scary and difficult to achieve properly (eep my noob writer self is showing) and perhaps that is why I haven't ventured into it. Personally, for reading purposes, I like both 1st and 3rd person, (2nd can be tricky, I've only ever written two drabbles in it but I did read an amazing and long 2nd person POV DTH that was so good) and it certainly does not deter me from reading a fiction. I do understand some people's comments about being attached to a certain character and having a preconceived idea of how that character acts/thinks but at the same time usually 3rd person is written from one characters POV and to a similar extent you are diving into their head space as well. To me, personally, you're either a great or decent author or you're writing might be lacking/need some work and whether the story is written in 1st, 2nd or 3rd doesn't really change that.
