Posted because I am on a train and bored. Before buying a game–or clicking on a WIP’s demo link–what is the FIRST thing you look for? (Put another way, what does a game or WIP MUST have for you to click or be interested? Or what is the first thing that turns you off?) And why?

As for me, I always check the quality of the writing first. I’ll usually read anything (in any genre, gender-locked or not, etc.) if the writing seems good to exceptional. In WIP threads, if I see typos in the summary or click on the demo to find writing errors, I usually won’t continue. In official CoG/HGs, I’ll gauge the writing from the splash page or the demo.

The second thing I look for is ROs. 😅 If you’ve got both, you’ve got me interested! What about everyone else? 🙂
