I use the omnipotent in my novels, going back and forth with characters, focusing on each one in depth. However, in short stories, I frequently use 1st person POV.

I was never a fan of 1st POV in novels until I read Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. She was so LOL funny that I was hooked and now have her 13th to pick up at the library with Harry Potter arriving in the next couple of days. Ackkkkkkkk!

In my SF stories, I frequently use 1st POV but in my fantasy, I generally use omnipotent. I'll have to think about why I do that.
