If you keep it generic enough, sometimes it works well... but if your character starts talking, it can get awkward real fast. Um no, that's not how I would react, thanks.

This is the book I read in second person. It's a bit confusing to follow at times, but the plot and writing is excellent. (Adult topics, so caution is required). I don't know how he (the author) does it, but I've been trying to figure it out.

Or even actions.

I know people have done it, and I've wanted to experiment, but I haven't gotten the chance.

>> I attempted second person like ONCE
>> I have a love-hate relationship with first person. sometimes it's great because you really get a feel for one particular character, but then you're limited to their own perception of things, so you're bound to get some sort of prejudice or weird lens when you're reading about other events or other characters. I go between writing in first and writing in third a lot. I have, like, phases.
>> omg are we talking about music dude my music playlist changes like once a week. I have like over ten hours of music in my main playlist and when I weed through everything and choose my favorites it barely makes a total of an hour of music it's crazy x.x
>> I actually don't listen to music for inspiration, although I do listen to it while I'm writing. it's mostly for background noise. still, you guys might find some of the songs helpful, so I guess I'll list them out? I kinda wanna show off my music tastes too for better or for worse haha but don't blame me if it's too mainstream?

[crescent + cheep]

@ knees
Nice, I'll have a look at those. I really like Skyfall and Lana del reys music (:
also - She will be loved is one of my favorite songs ever, along with wonderful life by hurts.

>> oh yeah? haha I'll check out that other one. c:
>> woops and just when I throw up that list I deleted it and I'm re-listening to the entire 10 hr list for my new favorites list this is so insane x.x

[Artesian]

I've got Spotify, Asian. ^-^ But most of my stuff isn't in there, but in itunes. I'll check out the stuff you posted (but I'd be really interested in the instrumentals, as that's practically all I listen to). :3

Also, I posted in Breakfast Club. Hah! Dealz with it. B)

I love that song o3o

"Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say."

and then I think another was

"Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay."

I only learned about the song because of my other friend in RL [ironically enough, it was on my iPod--which is now my brother's] XD

but I still have to start reading it ono

[wolfie.]

I've tried writing in second person one time, and I hated it. I don't plan to do that ever again.

@Azsa: D:< WHYYY MUST YOU DO THIS TO MEEE? ]': That's so sad. And it is soo much like Alexander and Alexandra, I just... I wanna cry again. -wails-

[indebted]

I don't like second person. I't doesn't work with me.
