So, early warning: if you have been reading along with my novella on my blog, but didn't finish yet: you have a yew more days to do so.

I posted it per chapter to allow people to read along, but now the whole thing is online it has served its purpose. I'll be taking it down soon.

I wonder what tense you've all chosen to write in and why.

I know past tense is likely the most common, but I have experimented with both and decided that present tense offers more direct immersion for my purposes.
This also ties into who the narrator is. In my WIP, it is a person in the room invisibly tagging along with the MC.

How did you decide, and is it reflected in the identity of the narrator?

If you can't read at the 'normal' speed, for example, because of dyslexia, do you prefer past or present tense when reading a novel?
