1. There is nothing inherently wrong with first person point of view in fiction, but I am so tired of seeing it in so many of the novels I browse through at the bookstore.
Ya know, when I first started writing, all I did was write in first person. Incessantly, even. Now I just can't do it. I find I can describe much more by using third person. This way lets me let the auidence see what I see (however big a picture as I chose to reveal) versus what a single character sees.
Unless you have a story (like a lot of fics) that changes first person POV's every chapter. Or changes points of view in the chapter. That just seems to jerky and unfocused to me.
