By fandom would be my most-preferred. Even though I tend to enjoy variety, I ticked by pairing because it tells you at a glance who's going to be on the spotlight the most and whose mindset to be prepared for. For me, length is also a definite factor. I love to immerse myself, so I generally skip over anything under 15k and really appreciate it when authors give the word count in the header.

I'm glad you mentioned that--I may not get specific on word count on my list but I'll go back and see if I can at least give "teensy" "medium" "long" notes in the headers!

Yeah, most people probably don't care for specifics but it's good to know even in general what you're getting yourself into. Like if you're itching for a fic but leaving for a holiday tomorrow, you'll probably be happier with a one-shot than starting a novel-length epic.
