[QUOTE="discoe™, post: 2198337, member: 774450"] characters perspectives? I'm writing a fantasy/romance novel, and I was wondering if it's weird or unusual to tell one chapter in my main female's p.o.v (1st person) and then in the next chapter tell the story in my main male's persepective (also 1st person). I thought it would be kind of cool because readers would know what BOTH characters were thinking, and they'd get the full story. Plus it'll beef up my novel, which I heard fantasy romance novels tend to run a bit longer. I think it's a good idea but I'm looking for opinions. I'm not afraid that it's going to get repetitive because my main characters usually aren't in the same place doing the same thing (it's complicated). And for the times that I will be describing the same thing twice (a scene, a kiss, whatever), it'll still be through two different people's eyes. Whuddya think? I need opinionsss ! [/QUOTE]
