So, Big Bang. I can't decide if I want to tell it solely from Sam's POV, or alternate Sam and Dean. While I'm procrastinating thinking about it, have a poll and tell me YOUR thoughts on changing the voice within a story:

I wrestle with this one a lot. I like to switch POV because I mostly write PWPs and I think the sex is more erotic if you can manage to capture both sides of the experience.

I think the most important thing is to try and have the POV changes make sense. A good story should have a rhythm to it and if you can make your changes match the rhythm it can work.

Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Normally I don't wrestle with it at ALL -- and I've done stories (not a lot, but a few) where the POV switches/alternates. I think I'm having trouble in this case because I can picture the story both ways: from Sam AND Dean's POV, and also just from Sam's.

Thanks for your opinion!
