Ha! Yeah, I've played through some of yours. I'm in the middle of Necromancer, now. I like to wait until I've made it to the end several times before I make my comments, though. (c:
The more I write my own story the more I like the idea of combining fantasy and science fiction. You know, magic and lasers. It worked in Star Wars, am I right?
As for what I like? I like realism, mostly. Well, as realistic as you can be with zombies or mecha. For example, I like it when a character is twenty hours into a zombie apocalypse, trapped in a basement, and starts to worry about where she's going to take a piss. I haven't read anything like that on this site (even though there are plenty of zombie stories!) Or she's got to put down her sister, now a zombie, and how she can't function normally again for the rest of the story because of the shock (can you imagine what it must be to do that to someone you know and love?).
Mindlessly killing rebels/zombies/guards and the such really, really take me out of a story. I mean, killing a human being should have some emotional impact on a character, no? It shouldn't be as easy as breaking into the bank, shooting the guard (who loses 15 HP so is now dead), and then jumping over the counter to get to the safe. That guard had a life, a family, and you just took it away from him! To me, the story lies there, with the murder. It isn't with the bank robbery or the get away (where, of course, a dozen cops are probably killed in shootouts and a high speed chase).
The point of asking "what do you guys want?" here in the OP was to see what you all want and then try to do it as realistically as possible. If you want spaceships then I'll write about a lowly ship's mechanic who is always fixing the broken port thruster while saving money to take his wife on a vacation instead of the charismatic captain who talks to foreign leaders and beams down to fight cyborgs every other week.
Right now, my idea is for the reader to play a character in one of two rival nations. Soon after the story starts there will be some kind of disaster (or something; I'm not there, yet) that will let the character become some sort of hero or villain. Then, of course, there will be the option for the character to completely ignore the Big Plot and do his/her own thing while shit happens in the background.
What kind of shit? What kind of disaster? What kind of rival nations? I dunno. That's where I'd like some help from you folks.
