Recently, I’ve been trying to read Scanranger, keyword try, but I just can’t do it. It would be only be a minor understatement to say my eyes were in pain from reading the thing, and I’ve only reached chapter 2, so what I’m saying is: how do you all read this kind of thing?
Especially if I'm reading to see if it would be good for a mission. I look at the typos, dodgy logic, and questionable word choices, and I think to myself, "What would this really look like if taken as written? What do these words in this order actually say?" My mission "Ring Child" has a lot of good examples of this (especially since I had help from Tungsten Monk, who is naturally funny).
But some fics are so ridiculous you don't have to try very hard, too. "Kitty Fever" was one of those. "Blood Raining Night," too, except when it veers into "so bad it's horrible."
If the fic's mistakes don't tickle your funnybone at all, chances are it won't make for a good mission.

The only way I get through the Hairkink Purityworld fics is figuring out how it would actually work in the Deconstruction. :D
Simple: we don't. Well, I personally like reading a lot of badfic--sometimes its typos are funny, and dumb plots can be enjoyable. So-Bad-It's-Good is a thing!
Other fics are just bad, and I tend to read those fics more out of spite.
