I can't tell you what to do but… please add a variety of characters, your characters don't need to be all be the same. Adding a variety of characters makes stories more enjoyable. Don't be weird about them, avoid stereotypes.
Here's just some cas cc, be sure to look at the other content from these creators and from elsewhere.

Be sure to think about your characters dynamics, their individual dynamic and their relationships! Here's a few simple articles and blog posts. 1, 2 , 3, 4.
Recommended previously in a reblog by the lovely @xldkx, make sure your font is readable. I would also highly recommend a legible transcript. Make your story as accessible as possible! The little effort it takes can mean many more people will be able to read and love your story.
Also, 'shot, reverse shot.' Little demonstrative video here. It's used in nearly all media with dialogue. It can make the emotions of the scene shine through more.
good tip... Clutter the hell out of your scenes, with accordance to characters and setting. Most people have some clutter, a little mess adds to your setting significantly. Take the time to really build your setting.
Here's a little character building article. There's many more out there.
Most importantly!!!!!! Have fun, grow with your writing and characters. Make it a fun hobby, not a chore or job.
I greatly appreciate any added resources in comments or reblogs!!! :)
