Five Reasons I haven't read your story

This meme was kinda tempting, so...

Top Five Reasons I haven't read your story

1. It's in one of the many, many current fandoms of which I know nothing. Today is one of the days when I couldn't be bothered to take a look.
2. Your summary contains spelling mistakes/bad grammar/self-effacing disclaimers of poor quality. Life's too short.
3. It's A/b/o, because no. Or Omegaverse, ditto.
4. It's epic, and I really don't have time for 200,000 words of something which isn't in the fandom of my heart. Most days I don't even have time for 20,000 words of same.
5. It's a fandom I sometimes read in, characters I usually like, but it's an AU/a premise I find unappealing.
5a. It's a fandom I sometimes read in, characters I usually like, but a pairing I just cannot care for.

I made a pact with myself a year or two ago to automatically reject any story that fits #2, and honestly, I've never looked back.
