- clear character voice, which doesn't necessarily translate to 100% ic. if i know the canon, then ideally the character would be at least somewhat recognizable, but often times i don't know or really care, as long as the characterization is consistent, distinctive, and interesting.
- a good balance between description, introspection, action, and hooks. i want to know what their character is thinking and doing and why, i want them to be moving around in a world that's not just blank white space, and i want something to react to (and i'll put in all of those things in turn in my tags.) i don't want purple prose-y description just for the sake of description
- consistentcy. i'm not a fast tagger by any stretch of the imagination, so i'd be happy with a tag a day or every few days.
- MOVES THE THREAD ALONG. this is honestly my number one thing. i don't care how great and IC a writer you are, how often you tag, whether your prose could make angels weep, if you aren't making the thread progress and ideally tossing in some twists and turns of your own.
