Being different and answering the poll like this as the answer I wanted to give wasn't really there ie a reason for it.
I don't tend to look at word counts before I read. If it's an author I want to read or the premise looks interesting I'll read it anyway. Usually one scroll with a mouse gives me an idea of whether it's long or short.
I know a lot of people disagree with that though - and don't like to read long fic.
