Moody

If you asked me, mood is definitally the most important aspect of a good story. the mood gives the story meaning, and it can draw you in emotionally. not to say it makes a person emotional or not if they like a story with tons of mood, but the mood is the best way to connect to the reader and make them "feel" the story. you can have a very very short story and have it be a good story because it has an exciting mood and isnt stale or plain. many people may say a story is intense or exciting, but that is because it has an exciting and crazy mood. if you ask me, it makes or breakes a story. thats why i write storys with either a crazy intense story, or a very strong emotional story. thats what i look for mostly in books.
