I usually have a group of authors that I simply avoid in each fandom. Now it's always possible that I might skip a story in which one of these authors makes a great leap forward and produces an absolute treasure, but I'm not willing to take the risk.
Sadly, in my experience the writers who put out real stinkers tend only to develop in terms of being able to put out more stinkers more quickly... ;)
And I find that the longer I'm in fandom and the more I've read, the less tolerance I have for bad fic.
At this rate you might catch up with the rest of us sometime next decade! :P
