•First person writing uses 'I' and 'we'. 'I' writing is personal, but 'we' is often used collectively to refer to an organisation or group.
•With second person writing, you talk directly to your reader using 'you' language. The second person is used extensively in marketing material and also to provide information.
•Third person writing uses 'he', 'she', 'it' and 'they'. It is more formal than the first and second person and is often used in reports, policies and scholarly texts.
First person for SM - Second (not used too much) - Third person for RP stories.
That's my opinion ^=^. GL with your SM Sir William. Can't wait to play it, so give me a PM when it is done ^=^

Hm, i wonder what an SM would be like written in the Second person POV....
"You opened the door and saw a rotten corpse starring right back at you..."

We've actually had a couple of SMs submitted that were written in second person. They clashed with the rest of the wording within Sleuth and didn't pull the reader into the story.

Yeah, i think it would be weird too. I guess that's why it's seldom used in any form of literature.
