It depends on where I am. At ff.net, I have learned the fine art of reading into summaries and I have my favorite authors. Here, I'll set aside the summaries/authors I like, and read from lowest to highest word count. Also, here, in the case of "Heroes," I set aside anything that has Peter, Nathan, or the brothers, except for things that have both Peter and Claire in it.
Most of the comms I read in aren't that active. ^_~
If it's something by an author I know, chances are I've already read the fic when they posted it in their LJ. For other stories, I look at the first few paragraphs to decide if it's worth reading.
FF.net, I usually visit only when someone recs something to me from there. I don't have the patience to wade through the deep waters of pre-teenage fantasies *rolls eyes*
Or when I want to read some Chris-centric Charmed fics. Unfortunately, FF.net is the only place where one can find them. It's a shame...
The Supernatural fandom is very active these days. The time will come when there will be only few new fics to read but right now, I feel quite overwhelmed to be honest. That's why I mostly read only fics that someone recs as amazing :)
