I'm writing a story because I'm bored.

There is a sort of different 3rd person option. It's limited, but not to just one person. I'm in the midst of writing a novel, and I have three main protagonists. Things are only seen through these three characters, so it's not 3rd person omniscient, but it's not limited to just one person.Nlerd could be trying this, with a limited cast of charatcers through whom the action is seen, but I agree, the actual POV being used is a bit unclear at this point.

Well, I've written a number of sci-fi short stories, but have been thus far unable to get them published.As for the novel, it's hopefully going to be the first in what is currently an 8 book fantasy series. I love reading fanatasy series, but have found that many of them deal with people fighting against an embodiment of evil (i.e. Sauron). I thought it would be interesting to make fantasy more realistic, though still keeping fantasy elements. There is a magic system and an important, fictional creature, but otherwise, the main thrust of the series involves two people who end up on opposite sides, but are both trying to save the world due to a prophecy that states that someone will need to unite the kingdoms or the world will be destroyed.It's about human failings, biases and making mistakes.There is also a pantheon of gods, but most will be shown to be mythical, with one of the main characters becoming an athiest while the other becomes more devout.The three main characters I mentioned all start out as friends, two orphan boys and a girl who is the daughter of a maid in the palace of one of the kingdoms. I'm hoping different people will identify with each of the three main characters, and the question will be, who was the prophecy actually about?Edited by Perdition, : No reason given.
