First off, happy Halloween! Hope you guys are having a spooky and fun time tonight while I'm cooped up at work.
Just thought I'd say that I've started transcribing and editing the next chapter of The Wayfarers from my notebook to my computer this past week. Hopefully in a few weeks time I'll have a draft ready for my editor and proofreader.
Now, I'd like ask what makes a story really 'enjoyable' for you to read (good grammar and structure aside). An example, I love a story with very individualstic characters. It's amazing that there are some stories where you don't even need context on who's who. You can tell simple by who it is by their speech pattern, choice of words, and how they react to others around them.
Just something I'm curious about. My apologies if it's a dumb question.
Its not a dumb question.
It is a question with a lot of answers because its very subjective.
I read an interesting story about a leper that was give the ability to save or damn a world.
It did not help that the guy was not sure what he was experiencing was real.
To me, its interesting chars and interesting situations.

Good dialog and banter helps to make a story interesting.
It also helps to flesh out the chars more.
No, you are not an idiot.
Ooo, that's a good question. For me, a good story is one that makes you really hink about the world in which it takes place. So, maybe it's got a lot of interesting stuff going on behind the scenes that you have to figure out from background details, or maybe there's just some very big implications about what would happen if the story world was in fact real.
