I guess I should answer my own questions!
Why did you opt for the person (first/third/mixture) that you write your story in?
While BC starts of heavily focused on Cordelia and her perspective, I always knew I would want to expand the viewpoints, and that I could never tell the whole story just from her perception (I mean, she's probably the character that knows the least out of everyone), so close third with switching POVs always seemed like the best fit. Bu I actually really love writing in first person, especially when a character's voice is very strong in my head, so I couldn't resist throwing in a few first person chapters. There will likely be more down the line, though I do always try to have a reason for using first person to show something we just wouldn't quite get in third person. I'm not sure if everyone will get a first person though, as some characters are definitely easier for me as a POV than others.
What do you think the main pros and cons of that approach are?
Given how fickle I am, I love having the freedom to switch it up. I like experimenting, so if I feel like exploring someone's take in first person, I will. Like chapter 25 and the introduction of Verena, I just had an urge to write that in first person, so I did - yay whims. I don't limit myself too strictly with format (in spite of what I said above), it's all good fun.
Another pro is that the perspectives allow me to only reveal what I want the reader to know, like Yimi said - obviously there's a lot of mysteries going on and different characters might know different pieces of it all, so I can conveniently manoeuvre through that. I don't think any of my characters will ever know everything there is to know, but some definitely hold larger bits of the puzzle than others. I always thought it could be an interesting exercise to tell the story from somebody else's point of view, but it would definitely read a whole lot differently, and would probably not be all that interesting haha.
Are you ever tempted to switch it up?
All the time - which is why I do :D
If you write from multiple people's POV, how do you decide who's perspective each chapter/segment is going to be from?
I actually don't often decide up until last minute, so unless there's some crucial information I do or don't want the reader to know, it's largely on a whim :sweat_smile: Cordelia is my safe go to default, but I get bored of her that can get repetitive if we already know all her thoughts on the situation, so if I feel she has nothing new to add, I might reverse things, like I did with Dandy's Eden chapter or Morgyn's Demon chapter, because seeing those from Cordelia's POV would just be more of the same old.
I'm sure my own personal preferences and who I connect with as a character does have a lot to do with who I choose too though - for instance it's not particularly easy for me to slip into Dandy's mindset, which is why we've had so little from him. Maybe some day.
