Here's a question though... how important are the non-essentials for you before you'll like a book less or even more?

For instance stuff like... having an appropriately gendered protagonist (not necessarily the hero) in there to identify with, or starting to ship characters in non-romance novels then getting more/less into it based on whether it goes the way you want. That kind of thing, how much does it influence you?
