He gets in my head and we just fight, but sometimes I get his POV in my mind and must write it. I'd appreciate any commentary. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5109685/1/Something_Like_a_Star Thanks ~sama

It kicked my ass once already.
	Go, then; there are other worlds than these. If, at his counsel, I should turn aside into that ominous tract which, all agree, hides the Dark Tower. Yet acquiescingly I did turn as he pointed: neither pride nor hope rekindling at the end descried, so much as gladness that some end might be.

But, on rare occasions, a story idea comes to me and his POV is the only one that fits, as in this case. As long as it isn't within the time period of the book, I am willing to attempt it. I'm not sure Pony can kick my ass as well as Dallas does, though. Dallas first absolutely kills me, and after I write him I can't write anyone else for weeks afterward due to the bad taste he leaves in my mouth... But I am just stupid enough that I give it a go anyway.

So interesting ... all the license in the world to be incoherent. But he definitely is difficult to tackle. Pony in first ... like everyone says, I'd feel too self-conscious. Not only because it's S.E.'s choice of POV, but also because although I share characteristics with the other greasers, my world-view would mostly match Ponyboy's, and that freaks me out in first person. I don't want to write as me lol.

We all liked reading Pony in first at the beginning anyway. Actually, I thought this was just a general "Pony in 1st" thread ... somehow I skipped the first post, sorry.

Avoid the death-defying sisterfic, at all costs! :D
