Thank you for not giving up when your wonderful comment got eaten!
I’m thrilled people show up here and get interesting ideas on the basis of my post. (Perhaps There Is Some Hope – as the title of my latest published fic states – that someone will dare click on my fic, too.) It’s fascinating what you say about Wuthering Heights, literary conventions and fandom nitpickyness. You also make me realise that I shouldn’t stick to only my favourite combination of the first person and the present tense, but (while not giving up the pleasure of using what’s become perhaps my signature style) try to be more adventurous and innovative.
Even though you confirm my suspicion that there is true hostility against first-person POV, your comment has not left me feeling utterly sad about it. Thank you so much for the encouraging words!
