    This is not a story, so if its not permitted, please delete the post.

    But, having said that, I am drafting a new (short) story, and I started wondering what point of view most people prefer.

    First person from the victim, the killer? Third person? Other?

    I usually go for first person from the point of view of the victim but I have been witting a lot of short stories lately, and most have been third person. What do you think is best?

    I'll bite! For short, sex stories, I prefer 3rd person. It feels easier and quicker to understand the motivations and thoughts of the characters if a 3rd person narrator explains it to the reader which allows me to focus more on the sexy bits.

    If this was a novel, then 1st person protagonist is my favorite POV. Having the protag slowly figure out the antagonist's (tragic) back story and potentially identifying with them is great.

    Depends on the information that's more important to your idea, I guess? I'd give some thought to omniscient vs. limited too.

    For me it does not matter that much any view is good but from logical perspective if you take it from perspective of victim story should end when victim dies :) and also if you are choosing not 3rd person view you are sort of limited to what those characters see and feel rather than being able to talks about everyone
