Just as a challenge, a second person story of over a thousand words, erotic preferably and post it here or in the library.
I've tried my hand at first person it's a challenge to write right and a challenge to read but if you pull it off it has emotional impact that you're hard pressed to get in third person limited past tense.

Even when done well I find it hard to maintain the first person POV for any length beyond the short story. That is, hard to write it at length and hard to keep the reader into it.That could just be me though.
Second person might work in a few select cases, but for a whole story let alone a novel... I think not.
Third person is in fact what mostly gets published and read, so lighten up everyone. These discussions are supposed to be for sharing information not an exercise in sarcasm.
