What is your definition of a good story & are there fanfics you've actually read more than once because you loved them that much?
--- End quote ---
A good story for me is something which holds my attention from early on and continues to do so. There are fanfics I've got saved as favourites, but I've not gone and read any back yet. But I will one day :)
mare:
Time to answer some questions. I was waiting to get on the computer before I did this lol
I pretty much agree with what everyone has been saying concerning what makes a great story. There has to be a natural flow from one chapter to the next to make me want to read and of crouse the depth and believeability of the characters is really important.
I am not big on rereading things, books included. As much as I love some stories and books, i've only ever reread a handful of them from start to finish but the ones I do, it's because I find myself missing them. Most of the time, i'll pick a few of my favorite chapters or scenes to reread more so than the entire thing. LOL

When writing a chapter, do you pay attention to your word count or how many pages you have? Do you have a limit per chapter? Like after 6 pages you stop?
Is that a better question? lol

I don't really pay attention to word count, but my chapters always tend to be between 1000 - 1500 words, it's not that often I go over that.
mare:
As far as paying attention to word count etc... I am pretty anal about that.
I enjoy having most of my chapters stay pretty even in length. Usually I go by word count and depends, it used to be a lot more than it is now. I'm happy with it if it's at least 1,800 - 3,000 If it's more or less than that I feel like I need to either cut it down or lengthen. Quirky, I know lol
