Sometimes I wish I could give up on a fic more easily! But usually I only give up if the fic is really long and obviously not to my taste or bad. If it's short, I figure I can see it through no matter what. It's kind of OCD, though, like when I used to force myself to finish book series even if I didn't like them. (I read a six volume Melanie Rawn series even though I hated it after like the second or third book. But I'd started it, so I was damn well going to finish! XD)
