In general, a story that gets my attention is one which makes me think and gives insight into the characters.
and Carol replied:
I'd say that's a well-written story.
Pam wants to add:
Maybe, maybe not <g> I know I can really enjoy a story while still being aware of some large flaws. So I wouldn't call it "well-written," although I might still nom & vote for it. As you say, Carol, it's a whole package of things we look for, and it's hard to single out the specifics.
When it comes down to two really good stories that are both really well-written... that's when it gets interesting
And that seems to happen a *lot* around here. Lucky us
