Purposefully posting this to my personal account even though it relates to ogsafehaven.

I'm working on the background & characters for my original story and pinging in the back of my head is the pov. Not only for the story but my writing style pov.

Over the last 18 yrs it's been 3rd person limited or 3rd person omniscient.

I feel comfortable writing in that POV and I know that I don't want The Safe Haven Trail written in another POV, but is that what's best for the story?

The scarier thing I have to think about now, is what the driving force of the story is.

As I discover more about these characters, it's becomming apparent that this is about family and the supernatural is a minor point...almost an afterthought of "oh...this would make the story cooler".

Since I actually haven't devoted much thought to the supernatural aspect, do I keep it or remove it?

I'm editing a mpreg fic and was wondering...would a man go to an OB/GYN?

My thinking would be that the pregnant man would just see an obstetrician.

I beta checking a chapter of a fic and while it's only the 2nd chapter, I wear this author is comma happy and anti-all other punctuation.

It's making my already present headache worse, but I'm determined to help this author because I like the simple story she has going.

apparently I suck at research.

( comment I got )

Initially I was just going to ignore it, because no one has ever said that anything was incorrect before, but then I thought maybe I did miss stuff, so I asked the person to let me know what was incorrect so that I could fix it.

eta 1: for those familiar with Hawaii, what is kalabash? I was told that Kalakaua Aunties was supposed to be kalabash aunties? umm what?

eta 2: I learned something new. Kalabash is a term used to describe family that isn't blood family. Kono's Auntie's would be kalabash family to Steve/Danny and baby
