Well, give a comment I just got in that post, I should probably clarify: there is no "I finished it, and I didn't hate it" as separate from "I liked it". If I didn't actively like it, I probably didn't finish it.

Thank you! That's very helpful. I thought there were some assumptions being made, so a poll might help (hence ticky boxes and not radio buttons).

Yes, that.

Same here. I don't generally read fic that I don't like.
