Story description is the most important thing I think. A interesting description just makes you read the story. - 01/03/08 1:38:57 PM MST

I combine the first three option. I always check out the new releases on a weekly basis. Certain authors I read without question. For others, I give a page to see whether I like them or not. If an author has consistently turned me off, I boycot reading their work. - 08/23/03 9:15:08 AM MST

I avoid Mary Sue stories and most crossovers. - 08/17/03 10:20:28 AM MST

I READ OVER THE DISCRIPTIONS AND READ WHAT CATCHES MY EYES, BUT I ALSO HAVE FAVORITE AUTHORS AND STORIES THAT I READ OVER AGAIN - 07/07/03 2:33:29 AM MST

A favourite author might rate a second glance, but story summaries are most important to get me to open the file. :) - 06/22/03 2:24:31 AM MST

I do this because I've always been a sucker for stories on Lois and Clark's relationship - 06/19/03 0:36:23 AM MST

Usually, I get around to reading them all! Thanks to all the great writers! - 06/18/03 8:46:53 AM MST

I'll read whatever sounds good to me at the time. I also take into consideration how much time it will take me to finish a story. I'm an obsessive reader and will rarely finish a story in more than one sitting. I usually always check out anything by Wendy Richards, but sometimes it takes me a while to get to hers because her stories are usually so long. But that's a good thing! - 06/16/03 9:38:34 PM MST

This was a question with more than one possible answer! - 06/16/03 4:50:14 PM MST

When it comes to new stories, it's all about the description. I don't care who wrote it or how long it is. As long as it sounds cool, I'm there! I've read basically the whole Archive, so it depends. I have my favorites that I read often, but sometimes on rainy days, I just browse through by Title and pick out random ones. - 06/16/03 0:41:30 AM MST

I usually read the description of the newly released and the choose what to read. - 06/15/03 3:39:02 PM MST

I usually pick stories according to the descriptions, but there are a few authors whose stories I would not miss because they usually write about themes I like to read about. - 06/15/03 11:56:27 AM MST

When I find a story I like, I check out any other stories by that author. If they mention beta-readers, I'll check to see if they've written stories, too. - 06/15/03 9:02:53 AM MST

I have read the whole archive a few times and always read new posts, but often come back in search of a particular author, story, theme or just for a random browse. - 06/15/03 8:22:24 AM MST
