valis2: Stone lion face (aggressive)
[personal profile] valis2
This morning I dreamt that I found a meme that would recommend the correct POV for any story. I pasted in tLS (all 120K) and it took one look at it and recommended Second Person Omniscient. I was all worried about how I'd have to rewrite it and how long it would take.

Upon awakening, I was quite relieved to realize that there isn't really a Second Person Omniscient POV and that I wouldn't have to rewrite it after all. (Well, there could be such a POV, but it would take some serious effort.)

The official color of the Second Person Omnisicient POV is yellow. Just in case you were wondering.

Fic written as if the reader was god? I can't help but feel that if it was done well it would have the potential to be significantly awesome. Or at least really trippy.

Which is pretty much the same thing.

I'm sure somewhere someone has tried it...

and failed. Probably some English grad student. Though, it would be fun to try out different POVs in LJ. Maybe I'll go with 2nd Person omniscient first. *ponders*

Tsk, tsk!
Next you'll be dreaming of a meme that tells you exactly how over-immersed you are in the fanfic and LJ worlds! ;-)

It's interesting to see which problems your brain is trying to solve while you're sleeping! Writing something in Second Person Omniscient POV sounds like an intriguing challenge.

Heh...and it's exactly what I expected...my brain is willful! It never brings me the Rickman Naughty Fantasies...just more English assignments.

~grin~ Second Person Omnisicient? I'm imagining a lot of "Of course, you already knew that."

OMG. Is it time to take a break from LJ? The current discussion on TPMM? Or both?

So am I!!!!

Well, it comes and goes in waves, you know. Maybe we'll get a crop of people into fanfic challenges again soon. :crosses fingers:

Really? Darn!

You know, I started something too. But it just didn't fit right, so I didn't finish it. I do have plans for what I wrote though. Another Snape/Tonks fic, of course.

What was your idea? Maybe you should still write it just for the fun of it... :-D

I thought, I'll write a "sequel" of sorts to my Button challenge fic...it would have worked so nicely! After all, the character was an Auror, and I could invent lots of reasons for her to find Spinner's End.

Hm. Maybe I should still write it. A few people have asked for a sequel to the Button challenge fic...

Snape/Tonks? Interesting!

It's not fanfic, but it is in Second Person Om POV (http://www.livejournal.com/users/valis2/128751.html)...*giggle*
