For discussion: How do you choose your point-of-view character for a scene or story? Do you choose your favorite, or another character who can direct their point of view at your favorite so the reader can 'see them'? Do you think you are influened by which characters are most popular with the fandom overall?

I wrote a scene the other day that just didn't feel right and I finally determined that I needed to write it from another character's POV. Once I did that, it flowed much more smoothly.

That's happened to me a couple of times! I got a fic started, and it just went nowhere - writing just a few paragraphs was like pulling teeth. But once I'd changed the POV, everything flowed smoothly.

The story knows best, I think!
