All of the above -- with a healthy emphasis on characterization (which seems necessary in order to get to know a character). Bad words don't necessarily draw me in but the never toss me out, especially when they are relevant to the story, as was the case in "The Night Don't Seem so Lonely."
As an aside, I just got my copy of Carousel Seas from the ever-reliable Mr. Blyly. It was inhaled at one sitting, stopping only for stirring the soup and other necessities. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and thank you for it.
