I came home and found the kitchen window just lying on the floor. I live on the second floor and the screen is fine, so I guess it must have been a windy weekend? (Also, the new tenants are smoking, dammit. It's a lease violation. And I'm allergic.)

I'm the same way!
I have a crush on Venom fandom right now, so in Venom I'll do things like do an AO3 fandom search and open everything I find. I'll finish Venom stories and take pleasure in them even if they're deeply flawed, as long as the characterization is good.
Then I have a long list of fandoms where I'm ... interested, but picky. Before I open a story, it has to be either written or recced by someone I trust, or else have a very interesting description. And I'm not pre-committed, so I won't keep reading if I hit a major flaw. (This would be anything from old favorites like Harry Potter to small-but-reliable fandoms like Discworld to oddballs like if somebody's writing fanfic on Muppet Christmas Carol or something.)
And then there are fandoms that I actually don't even like ... with tiny exceptions. I mean, I pretty much won't be reading a story in Merlin fandom unless the kidlet writes it.
And then there's Yuletide, the exception to everything, where if two people I barely know both say, "You have got to read this story whose fandom is "Octopus Steals My Video Camera And Swims Off With It" I'll be like, "Sure thing!"
