I have not read the stories you rated DNF, but why didn't you finish them?

From:

Different reasons! Winged just wasn't particularly well-written; I didn't find enough that was compelling in the story or character to help me get past the typos and other problems. The Bridesmaids... well, it started off badly when I discovered that the author was actually one of the titular bridesmaids (of Grace Kelly), and just got more and more self-centered. I had other books to move on to.
