Important Question

[backupdump002]

Throwing this up here real quick while I'm thinking about it.

Internet, what is the main thing that you look for in a story? Three-dimensional characters? Intriguing plot? Breathtaking world/atmosphere? What is the one thing where, even if everything else about the story sucks, you'd keep following it anyway because your interest in that overshadows everything else? Just, you know, if you had to pick.

GO.

An interesting writing style. Something that's unique and thought-provoking without being too wordy. I also like it when books portray what life is REALLY like. I hate it when authors create this gifted character that thinks and acts only in a beautiful, intelligent manner. That's not how people actually are.

Example: I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak. READ ITTTTTTTT

I didn't even think of writing style when I posted this, which is weird considering how wildly gay I am for that sort of thing. Same goes for realistic characters. THOSE ARE MY TWO BIGGEST WEAK POINTS, MAN

I will totally have to check that out 8D And man, if you like unique writing styles/characters, you should definitely look into Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Admittedly, it's currently the only Vonnegut book I've read (which I will have to fix), but oh god it is so good. And I got it for like, seven bucks at Border's. BEST DEAL EVER
