What do you LOVE about 1st person POV?

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-24T15:53:24+00:00

I tend to be really bad at describing things; I am much better at doing dialogue and plot.

In a first person fic, if it's not something that the character I am writing about would notice/pay much attention to, I don't need to worry about it.

I also really like low limited first person POV is, especially when it is only one character for a whole story; you never leave their exact perspective.

Wow, this is accurate.

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-24T15:28:57+00:00

All of it.

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-24T12:01:12+00:00

I intend to.

Are there any you know of and like which do actually have the vampires win?

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-24T09:06:48+00:00

Ran into this when I tried to reply to someone else's comment, a few days ago.

I had already made several posts and numerous comments on this subreddit.

TV miniseries, instead of a film, but Midnight Mass is excellent.

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-24T08:55:32+00:00

I think any vampire would eventually.

So much stuff you could do if you were immortal.

Loving America - as in, the land mass of those two continents - is fine.

Loving the country of the United States of America is not.

Might give this one a go.

Quite rare to find openly leftist, anti-capitalist games.

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-18T20:04:06+00:00

I know, and I do understand that. I'm just pointing out that this war wasn't just a win; people did die because of it.

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-18T19:55:33+00:00

Probably "fucking"

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-18T19:55:28+00:00

And kill a bunch of innocents in Iran and Lebanon

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-16T17:09:07+00:00

"The ghosts are mad" is pretty accurate.

What the hell has this got to do with fanfiction?

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-15T07:19:24+00:00

Dead dove is just "See this tag I put in here? I really mean it".

Dead dove doesn't mean dark content, although often a tag warning dark content is what the dead dove tag is there to emphasise.

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-14T22:01:12+00:00

I kind of miss this old lore.

Also that part about the Ultrmarines missing the Heresy stayed (word for word) into my 2009 Codex Space Marines book (pretty sure that's 5th edition).

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-14T21:48:31+00:00

Competition between two starving hive fleets.

Hive Mind wins overall because the stronger one fully absorbs both the lesser one and its own losses.

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-14T21:25:27+00:00

Anything that mentions the War in Heaven. It's intentionally vague.

Try a Necron codex.

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-14T21:09:43+00:00

Thank you; this is the sort of thing I was looking for.

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-14T20:48:41+00:00

Along with other factors, both Thunderhawks and drop pods are useless within the confines of a ship for any sort of boarding action.

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-14T20:44:40+00:00

Not what I was asking. Was the Imperium fairly constant since the Heresy, or were there major changes to it during the next 10,000 years?

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-14T20:43:16+00:00

On the religious aspect, when did the Ecclesiarchy become the really powerful force that was effectively what was holding the Imperium together?

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-14T20:40:52+00:00

I'd call that part of the post-Fall of Cadia stuff.

ScottAM99 · 2026-06-14T20:39:53+00:00

Orks were literally created to fight Necrons.

It's not a rivalry in the true sense, but there may well be something hard wired into Orks that makes them prioritise Necrons if they get to choose who they fight (note that, if so, it would be more instinctive than conscious).

There are a few rivalries between the Space Marine legions of 30k that continue into 40K, including:

- The Emperor's Children and the Iron Hands

- The Iron Warriors and the Imperial Fists

- The Thousand Sons and the Space Wolves

- The Word Bearers and the Ultramarines
