    One of the more eye opening discussions at #ConFusionSF was how many of my fellow short fiction editors dislike second person. I thought I was alone. Writers, take note. That POV can be a harder sell.

        And before I’m “well actually’d” to death, of course you can do it right, and to great effect. (Hello, Broken Earth trilogy) But it’s very difficult to pull off and more often than not it’s just irritating.

        Interesting. I always assumed it was a hard sell, but didn’t realize it was widely disliked. Makes sense though, I know from some slush reading that seeing a lot of the same thing that doesn’t work makes it start to become something of a red flag when it shows up.

        I find that with in my profession. There are several beer styles that I find rarely if ever work. Yours may be great, but you're going to have to prove it to me, because you're at a disadvantage going in.

        Whenever I encounter a story told in second person, I have to figure out whether I resent being the person the story is trying to tell me that I am. It can be very powerful if I buy in.

        It's an easier sell for me if I know that the story has an epistolary format because then I'm just reading letters to someone else.

        My only story sale was a 2nd-person POV.

        Definitely not alone. Not that I’m an editor, but. As a reader.

        I’m more surprised there was any question there. Second person is the literary equivalent of Brussels sprouts, even bringing it up is the punchline.

        Second person is for creepypasta memes and choose your own adventure books. Nothing more.
