So, there seems to be a new trend in the newbies' writing styles... Don't ask!

All in all, I'm most interested in "good" characterisation, though. I like to see how a character behaves and why he does so. I want to understand him and see him develop. For me that goes hand in hand with the characters not being OOC, but I realised a long time ago that what I regard as OOC other readers / writers don't regard in the same way and vice versa.

As with ooc, I totally understand this. And it goes hand in hand with personal preference, yes? I hear you on that one. But if a fic is full of very obvious errors, such as using a comma before each adverb, continuously misspelling canon words in obvious ways, and the narrative is full of personal comments (as in "like I pointed out in chapter 3 in this fic"), it kind of loses its appeal. *snrk*
