Oh you know I'm a picky old cow. Anything can throw me out a story -- be it spelling, grammar, character fuck-ups or glaring errors. Even if I'm enjoying a story an error will send me off on a rant. Would I keep reading post rant? It depends. If the characterisation was really good and the error was unconnected with that solid characterisation, maybe. Then again, it depends on the error. If it was glaring as in obvious to me and kept resurfacing in the plot (for example the main characters moving around a completely fucked up fictive Edinburgh) it would probably wind me up so much I'd have to quit. Or maybe skip to the dialogue...or the sex. As with everything else, I take what I want and leave the rest. I don't feel compelled to read every word of every story and actually rarely do so. ;-)
