As somebody who went to college and got As in my writing classes I can easily answer most of these for you: Characters: i)Do you prefer long or short descriptions about the characters appearance? Definately short, unless you are a super novelist who can make every word beautiful. Descriptions are tiresome and take away from the imagination. Only use them if it is absolutely necessary for the story. ii)Do you like to know what a character is thinking or deduce from the way he speaks/acts? It depends on how you want to tell the story. I can say that most of the time it's better for the reader to make their own deductions about what another character is thinking. Leaves more to the imagination. iii)What is more important for you to sympathize with a character, actions or words? For me personally, I tend to like actions that speak louder than words. iv)How important is a character backstory when compared to his role and action in the story? Backstory should be avoided like the plague unless it is critical to the story being told. v)Which things do you hate when the author is introducing or describing the characters? Saying what they are wearing, and frivilous, tiresome details like they are setting up a stage. It's called stage-setting. vi)Which things do you like when the author is introducing or describing the characters? I like it when the author keeps it short and sweet and makes the introductions transition smoothly into the story. It's one of the most difficult things to do right. vii)Which cliche's characters the author should avoid? There are so many...Probably the brooding rebel type. He has a dark past and has a pity party for himself in one scene and kicks ass in the next. So overplayed. Viii)What makes you love or feel connected to a character? When they screw up badly. I like characters with flaws that try to overcome them. ix)What do you think about characters who's personality change instantly after a traumatic event? I love them. x)Overpowered characters are bad for the story even if there is a reason for the character to have this powers? 95% of the time, yes. Places and objects: i)Do you like short or detailed description of places and objects? YES. If it doesn't paint a picture like Picasso, don't say it. ii)Which things do you hate when the author is describing a place or object? Just going on on on, or boring details that make me want to skim through it. If it's more than one sentence, it's tiresome. iii)Which things do you like when the author is describing a place or object? When it invokes emotion or imagination. Otherwise it is terrible and tiresome. iv)Which cliche's should the author avoid when describing a place or object? Stage-setting Story: i)How do you like to be introduced to a story? Action, or a 'holy crap this is intense' scene. ii)Which cliches should be avoided on the story? Does that apply to known races in fantasy books? ( such as elfs and dwarfs ) There are so many to list. Brooding main character meets perfect girl is probably the worst of the worst. iii)Do you think it is annoying when a story has multiple characters in the same event, and the narrator change the point of view from one to the other multiple times? Oh yes. My writing teacher would refuse to read it. iv)Do you think it is offensive when a book has characters, races or events based in religious books? Ex: Angels from the Bible. Nope. My epic story is heavily influenced by the bible. v)Are complex mechanisms bad for the story? ( Ex: Mana manipulation and explanation for certain elements or spells in a D&D like universe? ) No, but it better be solid. If anybody can poke a hole in your theories then it ruins the story. Also, if it is tiresome or boring. In most cases it's best left out or separated from the story. Most people don't have the patience for it.

I like both, but I lean a little more towards FPS'es in terms of preferences, though both suffer from a similar sense of fatigue if you ask me. There are arguably more shmups out there than FPS'es, and just like the latter, they can feel pretty bland and uninspired. Radirgy, Mamoru-kun, and the latest Darius game have been some of my most played shmups in a long time. I'm not counting bullet hell style games in the mix since they're a bit more niche.

That's pretty weird yeah, I can have stalker-ish appearance too sometimes. I try to not do it and think logically, but you can get addicted to someone pretty fast(1 day is really really fucking fast though). I want to get rid of this so that if I ever have the possibility on a relationship, I won't mess it up by being a creepy motherfreaking stalker
