Do you find first-person present-tense narratives an enjoyable read? Would you read one? I'm writing a fic right now, and it just feels like a first-person present-tense narrative. I've been intrigued by the style since my introduction to the work of Dave Eggers, but if it's not something that people will find readable, then I'd rather not waste a lot of time on writing that way.

Ack, no.

Not that I have anything against that particular narrative. It's just that so many people TRY it and so few actually succeed at using it effectively.... And if that style isn't done effectively, it becomes an eyesore REAL quick.
