Re: mediocre treat

The first 500 words or so is usually when I figure out if it's got legs or not. Either I have a good idea where it's going at that point, or it's just not going anywhere, at which point I stop.

Fandom and recip don't matter at that point. Those are what get me to start the treat, not to finish it.
