Quick pooling, I am fishing for opinions here.
I am starting on a little multiple-chapter writing project (pure PS Fan stuff, I almost never do those so I want to make them worth it).
The story will be centered mainly around a particular character. In most regards, this story is to be told as seen through his eyes. Yet, I can't decide if I should write using the omniscient narrator's point of view, or the first person narrator.
Omniscient narrator is easier but it does not have the introspective potential of the first person writing, it is also the most widely used method of writing fanfics and can create a very amateurish ambiance unless handled correctly. The latter is a lot more challenging but if wielded masterfully, it can produce amazing results. However, it does complicate the explanation of a scene where multiple characters are involved.
I'd like to see the pros and cons you can think for both methods. I have been debating this for well over a week and I have discussed it with people whose opinion I deeply respect, but more input can't possibly hurt.
Please discuss.
