I've never understood why people hate first person so much. First person can be very good when used correctly. Bad writing in general annoys me, I don't take it out on the tense used. I'm one of those few people who actually love first person because for some fics, it's the most appropriate way to tell a story. But, for others, third person works best. Or even second person, when it's done well.
I'm actually very pleased with how that came out. I'm totally not used to writing pieces that short. The prompt for it was breath play, and I took a much different take on breath play than most others. Besides which neither Adam or Hamish seemed all that keen on actually experimenting with breath play. Neither did they want to go for cross-dressing, which is how Charlie got written. Which I must be thankful for as it's proved a useful setup for my NaNo fic.
I did the same with the genderswap prompt for the wtf27 challenge. Yay for crackfic. When most others were doing the whole 'oh, I went to bed a man and woke up a woman' routine, I went along a different line and had Craig become a woman by having a sex change. Well, it did say "By some method, the character transforms into the gender opposite his or hers." A sex change counts. So there. I've been told that fic is rather beautiful. That'd be the long version of Dressed, as opposed to the short 500 word piece that started it.
