    What is your guys lower limit on words(when looking for new fics to read)?
    I typically wait until a fic has around 25k to 35k to read because of how fast I read. (And i like to binge read)

    Depending on the author I will read as soon as they post as well.

    I’ll read just about any word count above 2K words. In fact, I try to get fics just as they have started. I like binge reading, but I also like reading a fic as it is posted chapter by chapter, so I can comment on it.

    Yea that makes sense it depends on my mood sometimes I wait a month and binge all of the updates at once (or for certain stories I read update to update)

    For me, I generally won't even consider a a story that averages less than a thousand words per chapter. Between 1,000 and 2,000, I'll only bother if it's a fandom I REALLY like, and the summery catches my eye in a positive way.

    It depends, really, but I seem to be within the 10k upper limit for the average reader.
