What are somethings you see in dio stories that you enjoy? What are somethings you see in dio stories that you don't enjoy? What are somethings you would like to see in dio stories that you do not?

Who are some characters you want to see more of? Who are some characters you want to see less of? What kind of battles do you like, hand to hand, gun fights or all out with vehicles? Do you enjoy more action, more story or a combination of both? Do you like female characters? Do you like romance between characters?

I like a combo of action & story.
Romance is a bit tricky to pull off.


Here is an idea I had but not sure how it can be pulled off...
A JoeDios site diostory where each participant creates a chapter.
I suppose the best option is for participants to choose characters from a roster. Each person only uses those characters in their chapter. However there should be some cooperation between authors if they will have communication between characters in their chapters. The story in the chapters should be linked somehow.

For me, the type of content (characters, action, whatever) isn't important as long as it's done well.

Don't Like: 1) Romantic side stories (i.e., Scarlett/Duke/Snake Eyes), but that's always been a pet peeve of mine.
2) The fact that I have yet to do one.
3) Scenes with guys jerkin' it in the field while others are right next to them .

Like: 1) When Cobra Commander, and Cobra overall, are made to look like real bad-ass threats and not just a bunch of morons like in the cartoon.
2) When the good-guys don't always win.

Good points. If you know the good guys will always win there's no suspense or excitement.

I like to see a good story first and foremost. A good blend of action and character moments never hurt. Customs are sometimes cool to see, and sets can be very impressive. I prefer diostories that are well shot, though some of the early stuff can be forgiven. As for things I don't like, I would have to say it depends. I prefer seeing o-ring stuff in diostories, but if the story is good I might read it.

For the last couple years, I've had many ideas kicking around for a Diostory series, but I've never put it on paper, and I still feel that there are things I need in my collection first before I proceed (ex: more specific figures, props, sets, etc...) Plus the lack of time is an issue. I hope to one day start the series, and I hope that when it does get started, that I get enough readers. I think that might be a reason why so many have dropped off. Both lack of time and lack of readers may have killed diostories. Not to mention many older ones have been lost from the pages expiring.

Good points. I have saw times where I have had to wait for figures to come out just to work on a dio. And the lack of readers these days are a problem. Well, it's not alack of readers, but some just forget to comment i guess.
