Time to lock this thread off - seems to be getting hit by SPAM.

The big problem with second-person narration would be, I should think, simply that it will get in the way -- make the reader more conscious of reading.
Tastes vary, but what I'm usually trying for is transparency, and I find third-person-past-tense easiest for that.
(I tried doing a novel in first-person present tense once. Worked reasonably well but I couldn't reread it without being excruciatingly conscious of the actual words on the page.)

Much as I've enjoyed the "Clan Corporate" books, and skillfully though the break-points were handled, I think they _would_ have been better in bigger chunks.
There's a definite feeling like the one you get descending the stairs and then taking one step too many.

Aside: Just got around to looking at the front cover for the Jennifer Morgue. Really like the Bondesque cover art Mr S - very Cubby Broccoli (sp?).
