A short fic I'll read anywhere, a longer (chaptered) fic I'm somewhat more likely to tackle if it's either posting somewhere that I can have it pester me as new bits come out (IE favoriting on Teaspoon or tracking here), or can set to 'read all at once' if it's completely posted (IE 'story view' on Teaspoon or... um, whatever the equivalent is on AO3, I know there is one because it drives me nuts when I go to post stories there). So... kind of depends. As to commenting, having to jump through hoops like having an account somewhere I don't already frequent (FF.net I am looking at you) is a definite deterrent. Also, bizarrely, is the fic's rating -- the higher it is, the more I'm going to have to like the story to overcome that feeling that the little old ladies in the knitting guild are going to manage to stumble into my "comments left" stats or something and start clutching their pearls at me at the next meeting... {sigh}
