Here via su_herald. Great poll; very interesting to see the responses and read all the comments.
I'm a multi-fandom kinda girl. In addition to the Buffyverse, my big ones that you didn't list are Highlander (where major character death in fic is commonplace, but I still expect warnings for permanent death), Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and the new and all too tiny NCIS fandom that's my latest shiny toy.
I usually avoid major character death fics because they bother me too much, but I'll make an exception for those authors that I trust and respect enough that I'll read anything they write, or when there are lots of recs from people whose opinions I value. Even then I'll wait to read these fics when I'm the right emotional state to come through it without being entirely devastated.
