Re: Finding/Choosing Fics to Read

Does the summary look like it's giving a reasonable description of something I'd like? Does the author keep their tags concise and to the point? How many words does it have compared to how many chapters there are? Is the summary full of the kinds of spelling errors that even a terrible word processor spell check should have caught?

If it passes those checks, I read the first couple paragraphs and go from there. If it doesn't do something to make me hit the back button with a migraine, I keep reading and give it a chapter or two, see if it's going to interest me in the long run.

All this goes out the window if I'm just scrolling for something to get the imagination flowing though.

This is exactly what I do as well. If the author can make a concise, appealing summary, than they're probably okay at writing a longer story.
