I do use the present tense quite a bit in shorter works but have also tried it out in my longer story Always There (and Sam Lied - I think? :/ ) , but I've found that in longer works it takes a lot of concentration to keep it so - I think my brain naturally wants to add an 'ed' at points :)

I'm keen to start a multi chapter first person AU in the present tense, but I think I need to finish other things first, hee! XD

You'd think I'd find past tense more natural by now, but I think writing a lot of present tense has made my brain prefer it. Hm.
