Hello there!

I'm going to preface this by saying Romance is not my genre of writing. I'm a Scifi/Fantasy guy, though the B Plot of the Scifi is a romance and drama that's a bit more fun than the A Plot. I exclusively write in 3rd person Omniscient.

I got a pair of ideas in my head, randomly, for standalone romances. One is best as a 1st person POV that changes between the MMC and FMC as needed, which my wife tells me is actually common

The other one is the issue. It works best in 3rd Person, which I've been told is uncommon. but the vibe, to me, seems to work best in present tense. I work better, descriptively, that way. It gives off a more mellow vibe than the past tense version does.

Does anyone here have thoughts or opinions on 1st over 3rd and past vs present? This isn't a genre I'm familiar with, outside of the tropes I learned from writing and from the wife talking about her recent reads and to her, Present tense and 3rd person are DNF for her.

In this post, I was trying to get all my saved data from the GOG version to the steam version. Moving over the data from Profile, Empire, Lords, World, etc, got me everything but my pantheon back, and from my understanding, this is a common issue, as well as people finding their pantheons deleted.

I have a solution.

Retain the old saves. If your pantheon is deleted, load up the last save on that session prior to the session ending. When it ends, you get the points you earned in that game, and the ascension for the ruler.

If you retain the old saves, you can restore your pantheon without having to fight it. It also restores any factions you made, down to the customization options that need pantheon unlocks, such as Cult of Personality, Shatterblades, and the Godir Crown. Even if you don't have it unlocked yet.
