That's what I do, but I understand it's not going to work for everyone. I read a lot of fanfic, which means I'm at no risk of running out of quality writing I enjoy, and I don't mind wading through the digital slushpile of self-released total unknowns to find the occasional gem.

Also. my tolerance for formulaic plots and clichéd characters is fairly high, and my tolerance for bad grammar is not too low. And I don't mind reading a dozen starter-samples to find something I might like to buy.
