How do you read fics?

Do you read chronologically no matter what?
If it is an important scene do you skip ahead to the end to see who wins then read the skipped part?

I myself for some reason read chronologically but if anything seems interesting in my vision of the screen I skip ahead to that, read as much as I can without scrolling down then read what I missed.

How do you read?

 

You skip ahead? Thats kind of odd... well maybe not I know some other people who do that also.

I read everything in order without skipping unless the story is written so badly that it hurts. If that's the case, I'll usually skip to the later chapters and see if the writing improves... if it dosn't, well that fic is history. In the rare cases that the writing does get better... I go back and trudge through the murkiness.

 

I mostly read in order and if it starts too suck i just stop reading completly and yah ive skipped ahead a couple times only to see if its worth to continue reading

 

Heh I always read in order, except when I need to check if the story gets better.

 

I normally read in order, though if a scene gets too mushy ill skim it

 

I normally read in Order, sometimes i skip some parts, but not a hole chapter, just little things that bores me a lot, if it don't get better i skip the whole story

 

Skim a bit at first, maybe jump some chapters with interesting titles. If the content's good, I read the whole thing in order.

 

Usually, by the end of the first paragraph i know if the story sucks or not. And unlike most people i know, i actually read every word instead of skimming.

Quick reply is fun! ^-_-^

 

I have a fast comprehension skill, but I have ADD at the same time. So i usualy skim though a paragraph, catch the phrases, and move on to the next one. I usualy get the whole paragraph like that, but if I miss something, I read it again.

 

sometimes i skim to see if i want to continue reading. if i do then i start over and read word for word

 

Usually in order, but if I'm bored I'll go look ahead to see if it's worth continuing.

I find myself often reading dialogue instead of the paragraph I'm supposed to be reading if the paragraph is large. I don't like bulky paragraphs, it's hard to read them with FF.net's format and my computer resolution so any dialogue that catches my eye gets read instead. You know, to see if the paragraph is worth the eye-strain.

It usually is. *shrugs*

 

I always skim though it to see if it's worth reading. 99% of the time it isn't and I don't bother to read back over it properly. I know it's a good fic when I really start to get into it involuntarily.
