Favorite books/stories
For milenaa: What are your favorite books/stories and what's most important to you, style or characters or plot or certain tropes?
My favorite book of all time is probably The Neverending Story. I've read it the first time when I was a kid and it's one of the few books I've read several times (I don't tend to reread, not books, not fanfiction). The reader that is important to the story, who gets pulled into the adventures of the book, I always loved that part of the book. As reader, who doesn't want to be part of the book? :)
For books, characters and plot are certainly more important to me. Although, plot a bit less than the characters. I like strong female main characters, I like fantasy/SF settings, but I do read other books as well when they sound interesting. Although, I have to admit, I haven't ready many books in the past couple years.
I tend to read more books when I'm falling out of a fandom, but as soon as I'm falling into a new one, all my focus is back on fanfiction.
For fanfiction, of course the important thing are the characters. Heh. I don't care so much for the plot with fanfiction, although, a good plot doesn't hurt. There are certain tropes that I really like, hurt/comfort for instance, pining, straight up romance, AUs. That's my thing.
