backupdump002Throwing 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.

Another thing that just came to me - If you have a good plot, it'll inevitably be dragged down by bad characters since generally, those characters will be driving the plot. IT IS A BAD SITUATION.
