One thing to think about... using 3rd person is IMHO superior to using 1st person for some reasons.

Right now, with one post per character, it doesn't really matter, but later you will certainly describe things to some or all characters at the same time, then it might get rather confusing what "you" refers to. Being able to actually refer to the characters by name might greatly enhance this.

Also 3rd person reads more consistent and fluent, at least to me. :)

In the last paragraph of the "Melody post" you even switch between 1st and 3rd person, midsentence... :D

I really think using purely 3rd person is the best way to go.

Bye
Thanee

I can't remember that scene in the movie, although I vaguely remember it was a Jim Carrey film about a lawyer who was forced to tell the truth for a day and still won the case without lying.

Yeah quite funny, anyhow the scene involves a new girl, with other assets, moving into his apartment and him running into her in the elevator. She went on to say se couldn't believe how nice everyone was being to her. (or words to that effect.)

and JC's character flat out said it was because her huge assets... (he got slapped.)

Yeah, this proves that you weren't reading the other people's posts because I decided to switch to third person in the later ones :D

Ah, yes, in that case, I can understand the resemblance :p

I don't really know what you mean... If it's some sort of pun, I simply don't get it, I guess. ;)

No I think it’s an American phenomenon, and it’s mostly among the athletes that didn’t care too much about their education growing up, they never say, I or me. Instead they give their first and last names…

“Mike Brown is the greatest player the world has ever seen, because Mike Brown can hit any pitch from any pitcher. Mike Brown, etc, etc, etc, Mike Brown, etc, etc, etc…” :lol:

Don't worry Thanee; I didn't understand it either until BS explained it just now.

Sadly, modern athletes are often more Cons than Pros (oops, pun struck again!)
