Actually, first person perspective is pretty overdone (I mean in general, 
not just in fanfics).  What you want to try is *second* person perspective.  
I've usually only seen it in those choose-your-own-adventure type stories.  
If you don't like those, read Jay McInery's _Bright_Lights,_Big_City_.


Now that *is* an idea that I've not seen done much in fanfic.  The only
fanfic "choose-your-own-adventure" that I can remember was one done with
Sailor Moon (and several of the bad things that could happen had to do with
encounters with Trish LeDoux <g>
