1. Backstory. A character should have some sort of backstory. It just adds to them. However, too much backstory can make it seem like the entire story is just an epilogue to their backstory (Many a bad fanfic succumbs to this). Also, this must be revealed to the rader/viewer/player in an interesting way, in particular, a way other than the character telling the backstory to another character, or having the writer tell the story directly to the reader/viewer/player. Another direction to take is having no backstory at all. This works especiallywell with villains or monsters, since it adds a real air of mystery to the character that would otherwise be detracted if they tried to add an explanation. Case and point, Heath Ledger's Joker. No backstory, no explanation for his actions, and yet it is widely regarded as either the best or second-best depiction of the Joker. Another example is any Stephen King monster. They almost never are explaned where they came from or why they are here or what their motivation is. But this adds mystery to them that draws the reader/viewer in.

2. Actions that match their character type and age. Nothing makes a character more unlikeable than if they act nothing like they should. For example: Children should be naive and innocent, and anything otherwise just makes them creepy, for example. This aspect can be stretched a bit (Like with Littlefoot, who sometimes appears even wise than his elders), but too much, and the character becomes very odd.

3. Considerable development. Nothing cheeses me off more than a character who goes through an entire story, yet is left unchanged by it. They should learn something, or undergo some sort of transformation, or something!

4. A healthy balance of serious and humorous. Take, for example, the Judge Dredd movie. Dredd was unlikeable becase he was constantly serious and emotionless (Plus he slurred everytime he spoke). Rob Schneider's character was unlikeable because he was never serious and was constantly wisecracking (Plus, it was Rob Schneider). A good character should have humour and seriousness, in a good balance, depending on the setting.

I agree with you Allicloud however, a character must also be flawed. Nothing more annoying than a Mary Sue/Gary Stue, and I hate when I accidently make one in my stories.

Hmm, this is an interesting question. It would give other members a window into your writting style, as you say, how you write your chapters and why you do it. It would also give people a way of giving you feedback on what you could improve. However, these questions and such, should already be adressed in the threat with the specific fanfiction.
An example would be the threat "THE LAND BEFORE TIME: JOURNEY TO A NEW WORLD" where one chapter is published at a time, and then reviewed. The review gives you feedback, and you choose wether you want to reply and explain why you did some things, or just nod and agree. It should also be in these threats that you explain things, because, when people read your explanations, then they would (theoretically) have already read your chapters, and then they would be able to formulate proper answers or new questions.

Having a seperate threat about this, would 1) only take up space and 2) be confusing to the peolpe who haven't read your fanfiction and 3) be unnecessary. Personally, I wouldn't recommend having a threat like this.

If I do have the chance (and money) then I actually do have the technical parts for a bigscreen with sound for the European part... however, that depends on when we do this...

UK -> Europe really isn't that expensive Allicloud. There are quite some members from in and around London.

indeed, it shouldn't be that expensive to go from England to France. I'm visiting Scotland in august, and that ain't too expensive, and beside, I know for a fact, that the British-Danish ferry line actually isn't bad either.

That's proof, that ents still exist. If there weren't any ents, it wouldn't just look scary... it would rip out your soul and devour it... either that, our just give you a hug...

I say "do it", though there might be a few things that could make it impossible for me, but that time sleeps right now. But, I'm up for it, if the time permits it
