"do you ever read anything serious?" GOOD GRIEF have you seen the state of the world right now??? lemme just enjoy my vampire romance nonsense in peace.
i believe in re-reading and re-watching your favourite books & movies at different stages of your life. the plot never changes, but your perspective does.
you'll have to pry third person present tense out of my cold dead hands. i find nothing more jarring than opening a book and seeing it's in first person
