User blog comment:Grizzly Bear/Writing In Third Person!/@comment-5643552-20140531235039

I remember back when we had narrative mode categories, Third Person Narrative had around 400 stories in it and First Person Narrative had roughly 1,200 (2,000 if you count the Diary/Journal pastas).

There are certainly some good pastas narrated in the third person (The House That Death Forgot comes to mind), but yeah, they're relatively scarce.
