i think it's really weird. sometimes it works though... *NM* temeraire Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 07:13:26 AM
What's the general opinion on writing in the first person for the opposite gender? That is to say, I am a man who writes from the first person perspective of a woman or vice versa?

Is this generally not done? Looked upon poorly? Does it weird anyone out? Or is it just avoided for the obvious difficulties it would entail.

cw, you are missed...

It is fine if it is done well. I have seen it done very well and embarrassingly badly. Tashmere - 04/09/2009 09:22:44 AM 620 Views

Honestly, I don't think that it would be that hard for a man to write from a womans view point. Tashmere - 04/09/2009 09:28:19 PM 588 Views
