Re: Writing

I'm plotting out a story idea and I'm stuck on who's POV I want to tell it from. :/

A is the POV character in canon and most of the fic is told from A's POV. I wanted to switch things up and tell it from B's POV*, but there is some background detail that I'm worried I won't be able to fit in naturally/comfortably. Maybe this will solve itself when I'm actually writing but I'm still worried about getting 1/3 of the way through the fic and realizing I just can't fit it in, so I'll have to rewrite it from A's POV.

Advice? Should I just risk it? Not to big of a deal to rework something two months before it's even due. I'll be sad to lose the B's POV novelty factor (the letter mentions B being their favorite!) but if it makes for a better story, it'll be worth it.

* not talking about first person. I mean it in a third person, limited POV way.
