Fanfic Question

[jetpack_monkey]

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.

You're secret's safe with me -- no worries.

It's not so much that I think that my first draft is good enough, it's just that so often I'm so mind-numbingly sick of the piece when (and if) I finish it that I never, ever want to look at it again. Chalk it up to low self-esteem or whatever.
