I don't know how much my habits as a reader will help since as a rule I tend to read authors not pairings. As in once I find an author I enjoy reading I will read just about anything they write. With a few notable exceptions (Snape/Draco being one), the featured pairing generally has little to do with my choices.

As a writer, it's all about the story I want to tell. Yes, writing certain characters will generate less feedback, but as long as I care about the story that's all that matters.
