The thread on dialogue tags got me thinking about this.

As a semi-writer, I have often found myself staring at a bunch of prose wondering if I should switch to the other character's POV or just stick it out with the same one. Granted, in fanfiction, we seem to play more loosely with this than in original fiction.

However, nothing bugs me more than reading a story where every four paragraphs we're switching POV. Or, worse still, when we're switching POV in the same paragraph.

Which brings me to my question: how often is too often? Do you have a set amount of pages? Try to keep it rational? Really couldn't care less?
