Yeah, this has been asked before, and it was an overwhelming consensus for quality over quantity.
Of course we all love to have quality over quantity. If a piece of work is very well done and obviously has some thought put into it, I'll usually enjoy it. If they can come up with interesting storylines and plot twists, it makes it even better. Describing things well always helps evoke images in the reader's mind, but too many cause problems. What I LOVE to see are people who have obviously thought through their entire storyline before they write it, and can create huge story twists, engaging sub-plots, and then weaving them all together at the end. Whenever that happens, I'm just like "Wow. They need to consider becoming an author." or at least, so long as they aren't already.
