Penguins of Madagascar Question

What do you LIKE in a PoM fanfic?

I wrote a pick that had people picking what they DIDN'T like in PoM fanfics. Now, I'm asking you all what you DO like. If you can't think of anything, you can also say something you like about this spot. This is meant to be NICE and FRIENDLY. No mean comments!!
Thanks! :)

What I like in a fanfic?...

I like it when there's no OCs(actually, sometimes it's fine, just don't make it as a main character)

I like it when it's well written, not like in the beginning Kowalski would say "hey guys I made rico a talking device now he can talk now!!"

I like it when it's action-y! Because, ya know, the penguins are action-y!

I like it when they're adventurous! Cause they are(Phht, it's not all about Kowalski's inventions threatening to destroy us all or Blowhole strikes again or problems in the zoo)

I like it when it's different or unique! It's not all Daughter's of Blowhole Helping them or Mary Sue OC's that might be spies, or a transfer to the zoo that may be a spy, or Skipper falling for Marlene because of a love potion, or about humanized high school, or truth or dare, or about Denmark again! MAKE THEM GO TO KOREA!!!

I like it when there's humor! I like a fanfic that makes me smile!

I like it when there' a hint of...drama? Just a hint. Like, ya know, suspenful.

I'd also like a hint of romance! Nothing to much though, like Skipper making out with Marlene(gross) Kowalski making l--Eww! Nothing like that! Just a hint hint of stuff that would make me giddy enough to giggle.

Lastly but not least, in character! I mean, REALLY In-Character! Like show off their skills, their personality, their secret weapons! Show Skipper being fearless, or show him being the leader he really is! Show Kowalski's...Smarts! XD Show Private's kind nature and common sense. Show Rico's AWESOME-NESS and some skills he learned like...Lock picking? XD WOOT! EXPLOSIONS!

Soooo...A well written and unique fanfic with humorous action with a hint of romance with a dash of suspence! :D

You stole my answer! XD Really, there's not a single thing different that I look for in a fanfic, except for good grammar and spelling (I mean really, does it really take THAT long to spell check, especially if you're posting it online for the whole world to see?)

I count on a number of things... (as said by my Language Arts teacher Ms. Brown. XP)

- Good Grammar
- A well thought out plot
- A theme (obviously)
- Setting
- Climax
- Punctuation and paragraphs
- A "hook" in the beginning of the story, to capture the reader's attention.
- Character construction
- Perspective
- Main idea and supporting details
- Cause and effect

I'm not expecting ALL of them, but at least half to make a good story.

So... is a hook a first impression?

It's a tool used to draw the reader into reading your story. Such as, "I didn't know what I was thinking that night. How could I have been so blind?" Something like that catches the reader's attention because then he/she thinks, "Whoa, what happened?!". I use it in my writing sometimes, and it's the thing I look for most in fanfics.

#1- action!: you can't have a good fanfic without action I'm I right?
#2- humor: I love a fanfic that makes me smile or laugh.
#3- in character-ness: when I read I fanfic I try to make the characters say the stuff in my head. So it helps alot if their in character.
#4- drama: let's face it. Every fanfic has to have drama.
#5- good villain: I tend to like the baddies alot. :)
#6- big fight scene(s): I love a good fight scene!!!
#7- romance: just a little though. Not too much.
#8- OCs: I like an OC. But just not as the only character. If you do put an OC in, make sure you put the others in too.
#9- unique-ness: I like those kinds of fanfics. But not to crazy.
Well, there ya go!!! What I like in a fanfic!!!! Now ya know.

what i like in a fanfict or any story is first of all, complex grammar XD. but seriously, when the vocabulary is advanced, i can understand the story better and appreciate the writing more. i also want the story to have no OC's , because i cannot grasp the story's plot that well when it has a character that is new or unusual to the story. i also like if the author would start the story with a respectable beginning, because i have come across story's that seem to have a amazing plot, but i cannot follow along with it, due to its poor title sentence and\or paragraph.
i would also like if people ( when writing fanfics) would not do this:

s: well boys, you did a good job today, so who's up for snow cones?
p: oh yay! i want rainbow!

and instead do this:

As the last penguin dropped down from the fishbowl entrance, skipper turned to them in preparation for an announcement. "well boys, you did good today, so who's up for snow cones?". private looked up from his lunacorn doll in exitment. " oh yay!" he sang,"i want rainbow!"

see? now that's a title sentence i would look for! i will be signing autographs right over there XD.

P.S skilene in fanficts is also another thing i look for all the time XD.
