I'm just gonna say "ditto" for #2 and #5, though for #2 I'll add that I'm particularly intent on exploring the characters' interpersonal relationships. I want to provide the characters with the opportunity to bond and really get to know each other, to a greater extent than we've seen in canon.

To some extent, I strive for #1 too, but I tend to see that as more of a guideline than a goal, if that makes sense.

Most of all, my goal is to leave an impression on the reader: to provoke a response. Make them laugh, make them cry, scare them, warm their hearts, make them think... just, you know, make an impact, in one way or another.
