Umm, basically when it comes to fic, there are a few things I look for after examining the ship, summary and to see if there any of my squicks (so that determines if I do or do not click the story):
-Grammar and Spelling. I try to make sure my stuff is edited, but that people can't even spell the characters names correctly, it's very irksome. Or if everything just looks jumbled or makes no sense. IDK...it like bothers me.
-Flow/Plot. So, I guess flow would mean how the story is being narrated, just because if I hate the way it sounds in my head and if it makes no sense, then I'm done. I usually give stories a chance, sometimes, stories just don't work with me if they don't make sense. So therefore, I'm one of those people who generally like to go off of canon plot (unless there's a really good AU that will suck me right in). I'm picky with how things start and how they happen. If that makes sense.
OMG. Epithets suck. They piss me off like no other, and if I see even one, I kind of sit there for a minute to reconsider if I should read on. Three epithets will make me click the back button. Worse thing ever.
Anyway, keep trucking along with projects and stuffs, dear! You can do it!
