I am 3000% ride-or-die for slow burns, both in fic and in canon. There is no such thing as a burn too slow for me, and I am constantly being disappointed that the slow burn wasn't slow enough. That said, every slow-burn is unique (which I love), and, in my opinion, some are considerably better than others. My favorite are the kind where there's a really strong (or at least really authentic) reason for them to not have gotten together sooner. If it makes emotional/psychological sense to me, than I am so, so down for it. But if it feels like the drama is manufactured and it's only being drawn out purely as an audience tease and/or because the writers have no idea what to do once it happens, then that's less awesome.

On a slightly different note, something I've fallen in love with in recent years is ships that aren't remotely on my radar (or canon's radar) for a long time, and then several years in they sneak up from behind and blossom into a possibility in my mind and change my perspective on the whole story in a way that makes me love the story even more. It's different from a slow burn, in that the characters aren't burning for each other for the first [X] years (though I still need to to be a medium burn once they do start pining for each other), but it's similar to a slow burn in that the groundwork is there. The relationship doesn't feel sudden and rootless, because the characters and the context are both really well fleshed out already.
