Hmmmmm. I'm a fic junkie, and use fic (and to some degree the source media itself) as a roller coaster. Which is why I'm fine with kink, rape-fic, apocalyptic!fic and dark!fic. I want fic to make me feel, even if that reaction is a shiver up my spine.
So I tend to go for long fic, with at least an R rating. I will generally only read drabbles from writers I know and who know that I've seen it. That way I'm guilted into reading and leaving feedback. *veg*
I hate AU's. High school, wild west, non-stargate SGA. Can't stand them. I read fic for more of what I see on the screen or read in the book. I am a genre junkie and will pick up a novel if I want something else. I don't want John, Rodney, Don Eppes etc as faces pasted onto another body.
And finally... because I can talk under wet cement and am not sure i've actually answered your questions... I'm better at leaving feedback than I was. LJ has done that to me. I feel guilty if someone who knows me writes something and I don't read it. Which means I have to tell them I've read it. Which means I have to leave feedback! But I tell them up front what I don't read. My N3 flisters know I only read gen and slash, so don't expect me to read or leave feedback for het.

I'm beginning to think I'm opinionated... *veg*
