Re: Multi POV fics

I think it depends on the length of the chapter, and also the style of writing. Imo multiple POVs can be confusing unless you either spend a decent amount of time with each POV, or clearly mark where the POV changes (by either putting the names or just line breaks??) But then again, a story can be super amazing if there are lots of intertwining POVs, even if you only spend a very short amount of time with each one. I wouldn't write something where the POV changes from sentence to sentence or anything like that, without the changes being marked out, because I think it's just off-putting (unless you're doing something stylistic with it/it's specifically linked to the plot - like idk the POV characters have a psychic link or whatever).

Also about what the anon above said - I agree that first person POV can be a bit more confusing, unless you actually tell us whose turn it is each time OR give them each a different medium?? Like letter writing/blog/standard narrative/blah.

um sorry idk if this is helpful XD these are just my thoughts about POVs :')
