When you consume fiction and participate in fandoms, are you more interested in the story, the lore/setting, the characters, or all three equally? And what elements of them specifically interest you?

I have to say all 3 almost equally (I prioritise story and characters a little more). While the setting gives the basis for the story, the story shapes it more, and then characters give it dimension and likeability. Characters are definitely my favorite aspect of media, since they can be related to and talked about in fandom alot more than a setting or something can be (atleast from what ive seen). It also might just be the artist genes but character design is the other gianttt factor that makes me the most interested in them.
