I'm so tired of typical stories with set heroes and set villains (i.e., this is the good guy, this is the bad guy). I like stories with characters that act like real people. Nobody is all good or all evil, and most everyone has a motivation besides "world domination". Give me a protagonist that makes bad choices trying to support their cause. Give me a villain acting in love, or regretting their choices. Give me characters that blur the lines between good and evil, because it's not that black and white. Give me real human beings, and then I'll enjoy your story.
