How do I pick a story to read at AO3? I go by the amount of tags, the chattiness of the tags, and how many characters are listed. The more there are of all of these, the less inclined I am to take a chance. And of course, the ever popular warning, "This is crap", is a sure-fire way to tell if a story is crap. And if the writer apologizes in advance, another sure sign it sucks. I mean, heck, I'm willing to take the writer's word. Who knows better than they do if it's worth reading or not?



A few days ago I asked for good wishes--I think things are moving in a positive way. I'll keep you guys posted and thanks!

Heh, heh. Pete's Squeaks is a favorite expression of the lead character in Black And Blue Magic, a very interesting children's book I read many moons ago and it still sticks with me. Good writing, that. Had a good summary, too. ;)
