Muahahaha! I mad the difference between 197 and 196. - 02/06/06 8:33:13 AM MST
I find it frustrating when stories are only half finished. - 02/22/04 2:54:24 PM MST
I hate it when stories aren't finished, and I like reading them all at once, so it's better to not read a story at all, than be tormented with an unfinished one. Because you never know if a story will be finished until it is ACTUALLY finished. - 02/12/04 3:53:30 AM MST
I try to wait...but sometimes I get sucked in early ;) - 01/05/04 8:14:14 PM MST
I will read one or two stories as they are posted, but more than thet it gets comfussing, especially if the author doesn't post freguently. - 12/14/03 11:27:35 AM MST
I don't have the patience to wait- but I have to admit i prefer finding new sites with backlogged complete stories. - 12/07/03 2:45:18 AM MST
I sometimes read pieces by more known authors, but its hard losing a good story when an author doesn't finish - 12/05/03 10:22:17 AM MST
to be honest, though, I haven't read as many in the last year or so. I'm starting to get more into Smallville - 12/02/03 1:19:46 PM MST
But it drives me crazy when they take a long time to post updates!!! The suspense kills me! - 12/01/03 1:08:45 PM MST
As a general rule, I wait, though if I have some time and trust that the author won't go AWOL (or know that the story won't have too many angsty cliffhangers that will torment me while I wait for the next part!) I just might go ahead and read in parts occasionally. - 11/23/03 2:54:27 PM MST
It depends. If I see part 1 right away, I start there and read each new installation. If the first thing I see is part 7, I'll wait till the story is done! -Wanda Detroit. - 11/21/03 8:50:43 PM MST
It depends on the fanfic, the author and my current mood. - 11/19/03 7:35:53 AM MST
usually I'll read in segments, but sometimes I'll wait 'til it hits the archive. depends on my available time, nature of story, etc - 11/18/03 2:56:35 PM MST
My fanfic reading style with L&C fanfics is different then other series' fanfics; Thanks to this archive, I wait until serial stories are finished since they usually wind up here by the time its done. Most series don't have archives like this one. - 11/16/03 8:27:07 PM MST
