I don't have one. I read fics based on fandom, characters, and summary.
8. How slow is a slow burn?
For me, probably not as slow as other people would like. I do enjoy the gradual development of a relationship, but if that development keeps getting hung up on ridiculous inconveniences or miscommunications, or if the relationship stagnates, I lose interest quickly. So, I would classify 50k as a slow burn if the relationship progresses steadily throughout the story. Up to 100k is okay for me as a reader, though I doubt I would ever be able to write that much; anything longer that drags the relationship along is far too slow for me. What can I say? I'm impatient. ;D
