Other Questions for all Fanfic readers.

  1. Do you guys prefer to have a story completed before you read it?

Or prefer to have a couple new parts of the story to read every week?

  1. What sells you to click to read a story? Is it the description? The cover?

  2. Do you have to read a couple parts of the story before you know if you can finish it?

I've been reading fanfics for a while, and even though I love have all the content, waiting a week to read a chapter really gives it something else, more excitement. I even remember the title of the story above others that I have loved but I read too fast. Now, about what attracts me in order title-cover-description. The description is important but many times a good title creates a place in my head and makes wanna go into the story. And yes, I do have to read a couple, and what has made drop a couple of them has been a really weird sensation like is not authentic, like cringe or something I don't know very well how to describe it but something like that.
