#socmed “fics” that are just undescribed images my beloathèd

all of these to a degree?

I generally filter my ao3 searches to exclude anything below 50k (25k for smaller fandoms). I only read short stuff from authors I already like.

biggest turn-away is content (tropes as per poll). tons of stuff I don't read, from warnings to AU types to genres to tropes. I don't care how beautiful it was, I'm never reading that terminal illness fic.

graphics are basically neutral to me? I don't care about or want to see them. I am lightly annoyed by graphics formatted into the body of the text. you can have an ugly cover and it will not influence my decision to read it or not.

lack of summary/vague tags did not bother me in the past but increasingly does now. life is short! I don't want to investigate your mystery box on the chance I might like what's in it.

unpolled for but important to me: chapter length! formatting! readability! accessibility!!!!

okay, genuinely curious (and please feel free to expand in the tags)
