 The advantage of a first person narrator is that the reader can be set at ease to enjoy the tensions of the story with the knowledge that somehow the narrator got through it and lived to tell the tale.  I suppose this might also rob the reader of some of the suspense though.
+===Narrative Voice Re-absorption===
+This is a special maneuver that should be used with care.  It would work in a situation such as one in which a character is stuck inside some kind of a temporal anomaly.  For example, consider the plight of one Jessica who finds herself waking one morning.  The simmer has elected to write her from the first person perspective.  He has also been employing [[#Narrative Voice Injection|narrative voice injection]] in the past.  The simmer is now positioned to execute a narrative voice reabsorption.
+The absorption involves the morphing of the first person narrative voice into the already-extant narrative voice.  For example, the first person might say something like "And then the space-time continuum changed such that I forgot everything and then found myself writing the story of Joe's life."  Where Joe, of course, is the character on whom narrative voice injection had been employed in the past.
+This allows the second character (in this case Jessica) to be retired gracefully and with some flare.  She morphs into the previous narrator.  However, you should use this move with care, as you are now faced with the problem of potentially having to carry around Jessica's baggage when executing subsequent narrative voice injections.
+====Success with Jessica====
+[[Jessica the Writer|Jessica]] was my first attempt at this maneuver.  [[SIM: Jessica: Rebirth|Execution]] proceeded as follows:
+# Jessica falls down mining shaft along with manifestations of the [[Desperot#Desperot Entity|Desperot Entity]]
+# Decides to become a writer
+# Describes her encounters with John Ewen, a mentor writer
+# Acts as official narrative voice [[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SB118-Independence/message/15749|in a Breeman sim]].
