I only use 3rd when it's a big fighting scene, or, when I don't really want to know a character's thought.

I write in both 1st and 3rd POV, but most of the time I still prefer to write in 1st. (Except for the fight scene)

I use 3rd person past tense, b/c it comes naturally to me.

I write in 3rd person although the character's thoughts are in 1st person

I write in the third person. It makes it much easier for me to show the scene and even things that happen outside of the main character's view. I tried to write a couple of times in the first person, but those attempts were burned in the holy hellfire of the Inquisition.
I would have gone with 2nd if fanfiction.net didn't have a rule explicitly against 2nd-person stories, but they do, so I wound up using 3rd.
They set a rule against 2nd POV? Why?

I use 3rd person. But sometimes I add 1st person into it to give more emotion.
