I don't think there's much difference to the experience. If the narrative is engaging enough then I'll focus on the meaning, not the words. Past tense and present tense are like C# and Visual Basic .NET, where the difference is mostly syntax, and it all gets compiled to the same intermediate representation. After a few thousand words I'll stop noticing the difference.
