Be kind -- vote. The sequel to Between the Shadow and the Soul involves many storylines all weaving in and out of a major plotline. What would you prefer to read?

BTSATS is written almost exclusively from Elle's point of view, with only three chapters serving as interludes to introduce Teddy, Blair, and Chuck's thoughts. Would you prefer that?

Or would you like third person? -- the narrator is merely an unspecified entity or uninvolved person that conveys the story, but not a character of any kind within the story being told.

Multiple person narrative view would involve me telling the story from multiple people's point of view: one chapter segment would be from Elle's persepective, while the next might be from Teddy's, and the following chapter could be Blair's and then Chuck's, or Lex's, or etc. The use of multiple narrators helps describe separate events that occur at the same time in different locations.

Finally, alternating person view (an author will move back and forth between a more omniscient third-person narrator to a more personal first-person narrator) would allow me to keep Elle's use of "I", "me", "we", etc, but I could show events from a third person perspective that she would not be around to see, more regularly than the interludes in BTSATS.

Let me know your thoughts! (Please please please please please.)

You have to be my friend to vote in this, but I'm leaving it open in case someone who is not my friend has an opinion. If you'd like to vote and we are not on each other's flists, please see my top entry labeled "semi-locked".

Characters: Draco Malfoy/Ginny Weasley romance

Genre: Humor/Romance

Summary: All-dialogue. May turn it into an actual one-shot with non-dialogue at some point, but no promises. Written for my 30 day meme. Ginny wants to show her appreciation for a very expensive gift, but Draco just won't take off his damn shirt. Credit to mibzilla for her spin on Draco.

AN: I don't usually put these on LJ, but I just wanted to say that fairmostfatal should be pleased with one specific detail on a certain bathroom counter in this chapter...that's all! Resume your lives/reading! =]
