I’m kind of shocked at the irony that someone just followed me, I clicked on their page to check out who they were, and this was the post at the top.

No, we cannot agree that no one likes first person POV fanfics. I have, in fact, written what is currently a 72,000-word fanfic in the first person, and there are a number of people who like it (at least 139, because that’s how many have left kudos). Yes, the kudos-to-hits ratio is abysmal (pun intended), and that’s probably because people assume they won’t like it because it’s in the first person. But I’ve had quite a few readers tell me how surprised they were that they liked it because they “don’t usually” like first-person POV writing.

The problem seems to be that too many people who write in the first person do it badly, and either the POV accentuates the badness, or first person is uncommon enough that people are more willing to generalize about it from a few really bad cases.
