Right, fleshed out characters and plot is also very important. Those two are actually somewhat difficult to do without a lot of planning, and even then it's generally more important to show the readers the characters/plot rather than just tell (ie, show what kind of characters they are through their actions rather than simply describing it). Well, it's a difficult thing to do, really.

Then again, if you're writing crack those two points don't really matter. xD
