I have a feeling anyone who marries Dean would end up dead -- at least Dean's one night stands usually survive (unlike Sam's!). ;D
Oh hey, I don't think we've ever had this particular conversation: at what point do you decide whether you want to continue on and finish reading a fic or give up and close the tab? If the premise of a fic sounds interesting or if I'd followed a rec from somewhere, I usually do a quick look through to check for points 1-3 before deciding whether or not I want to actually read the entire fic. Characterization is definitely important, but if I find the technical quality lacking, then I'm more likely than not to give up reading (with some exceptions! There was this one author who wrote huge-ass long SPN and RPS fics with mediocre technical quality and questionable characterization, but they were like soap operas! Once I started, I couldn't stop!).
