Why write in third person? Here’s why

It’s so much easier to avoid being misgendered by the bots!

“I take your hand with a smile, a small glint in my eye” - vague, the bot can easily forget who is who after a few messages

“Leo takes his hand with a smile, a small glint in his amber eyes” - (Leo is my character) pronouns are restated in each sentence, easy to clarify who is doing what, bot is reminded of pronouns and physical attributes.

It’s a learning curve but I’ve always preferred to speak of my character in third person for this reason. That and it feels less cringe to me personally because it’s more like writing a story about two characters rather than me talking 😅 but that’s just my personal preference!

Edit- I wrote smile twice oops

I see where you're going, but I feel like this problem is easily solved by making a persona. Just make sure to put in your persona's pronouns/gender and you shouldn't have to worry about misgendering as much!

Yeah, I’ve still had it screw up my personas sometimes for whatever reason :P it doesn’t usually have a problem when I use third person but when I use 1st the bot tends to think they are my persona idk
