I have a few, but I can put up with a certain amount of most of them if I'm really enjoying the story. For a while I was even reading a fic with horrible mistakes in pretty basic SPaG because the premise and the first few chapters had good plot. Then it fell apart and I back buttoned really fast. That said here are mine:
- Epithets. They drive me insane. A stray one or two I can deal with, more than that I'm out of there unless the fic has an overwhelming amount of redeeming qualities. - Pet names. If they're out of character, happen within hours or days of a relationship starting (when they're not nicknames or endearments already used by the characters), or just too damn weird. - Basic SPaG errors that even I can spot. My punctuation can be appalling, so if I'm spotting them they're bad. Spelling of canon words or anything which comes from a dictionary being wrong - Google is your friend. - Glaring incorrect Briticisms in British based fics (particularly if they're things which I'm fairly sure are well known). My tolerance is pretty high, but it gets to a point when I can't deal any longer. - Incorrect canon if it's not marked in the summary. - Some characters I can't read if they're totally against my headcanon.
