That's actually a really good idea. Not one I see often, so a little outside the box, and may be a little harder to do well than a standard emotional shift, but would be awesome.
That can be powerful but hard to pull off if it’s awkward to write. I did something like that for a recent fic, switching out of my usual first person POV and into something starker. I tried for more poetic and strong images and third person. Reaction was very good, but when the shock and devastation wore off for the character, I shifted back to my usual style. (it’s a canon char, so I didn’t need to introduce him and I start in middle of the canon trainwreck) This is a long way to say that shifting your writing style shows more than italics, what your char does, or how they see these events.
Hm... suddenly I can't like posts either. Odd.
I've replied to your review in the TV section. Thank you so much for reading, and for letting me play with the idea.
Still won't let me like posts, but that's so cool! Thanks so much for taking the idea. I will read it tonight and review!
I'm gonna have Donald Pleasence's voice echoing in my head all day
Edit: Holy fuck! It's awesome! Review left
Ok, I seem to have completely lost any ability I ever had to format, however, part one of this is now posted.
