I don't know why, it's not that I'm addicted to the porn aspect of the fics, but.... I guess it comes down to the fact that I'm a romantic at heart (who grew up reading trashy romance novels) and am there to read about the courtship.
I'm with you. I figure, at least if the story sucks there'll be porn at the end, and an NC-17 rating lets you know that the characters do get together (though they may not stay that way). Whereas gen I'm much less likely to know what I'm getting into when I start--the story could go anywhere. I'll read gen if it's recced, but stick to NC-17 otherwise, pretty much.
