I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much on the favourite character aspect, I don't have any when I'm reading a book, (or watching a film). I tend to regard them as just another "object" within the whole fictional environment.
Seeing as my preference is for authors like Alistair Maclean, Dean Koontz, Matthew Reilly, Clive Cussler, etc - the action scene in the Shaft for me :)

So where is the app that is going to come out of this regarding the facilitation of exchange and management of change suggestions in written works?

Um...I think that's called a version/revision control system? ;)

Yes...it'd be nice if all participants already knew how to use such a system :)
