Thanks for answering in such detail. It's really fascinating to see how everyone's preferences differ and where many of us seem to feel the same.
Regarding second person, I think it can be a successful method of storytelling, but for me it's very alienating to the reader. I think it creates a sense of distance between the story and the reader. For some stories that sense of alienation works really well. I think it would work less well for say, something porny.
