One of the most argued points is: who is enjoyed more? A female heroine, or a male?

People argue that boy heroine's only attract to girls, and vice versa. But this is totally untrue.

As a fellow reader, I have read stories from both a male and a female's point of view. My list of favourite series has stories from both sexes POV's. But maybe some people have a point? When writing in a girl's perspective, it's more impacting on girls who can relate to what's happening in the story - eg. drama with boys, anxiety, self-doubt, etc. And the same can be said for boys.

So who do you go with?

You go with whoever gives you the feeling that they are the one meant to be directing this story. Doesn't matter whether it's in first person, second, third, if you start writing with a girl for the hero, and it doesn't feel right, switch it. Start writing the story in the boy's POV, and see how that feels for you. Don't listen to what other people say. It might sound totally cliche - but listen to your gut. Seriously. It will tell you who'll be better suited to playing the role of hero.

If you absolutely cannot decide, start thinking about your options. Maybe you can write it so there is more than one hero. So that every chapter or something is in someone else's POV. Consider all your options before you go with something, unless your gut clues you in. Always listen to your gut! Especially if it tells you it's hungry.
