"What do you consider the most important
in a story: the plot or the characters?
Neither actually. I think the plot OR the characters being "the most important" is really subjective to the reader. We will not all agree on a character and the way they are portrayed in a book. Same goes for the plot, we all won't agree on the events in a story. If we did, we would all love/hate the same books. That's just not the case. What I do think is the most important is the authenticity of the story and its' characters. How believable is a story and the players? In contemporary fiction authenticity plays a huge part. When you add multicultural elements, things get even more complicated. Often times a writer will assume a character would say this or life on the prairie would be like that. It is imperative that writers do their research and paint an accurate picture. Fantasy writers can take more of a creative license than others. I have read many stories where the author failed to put authenticity first in a story.
