Even when the writer's got all the voice quirks and everything down, when the whole thing's in first person, it just throws me.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I can only read first person when it's an original character in a book or something, but even then it's not my favourite.
People see that OC tag and they're not interested. Myself included many times.
I know exactly what you mean! I also tend to skip over fic with original characters (which is weird, because I'll read fic with characters that are so minor that any characterisation in a fic might as well be that of an original character!). But I do read OC fic sometimes, especially if I know and enjoy the writer's other work!
