Fanfiction pet peeves; Care to share what bugs you the most?

I've read my fair share of Fanfiction for the past two years or so, some good, some bad, some wondeful, and some absoulutley horrible.

After forcing myself to read poorly-written fanfiction just for the heck of it, I was wondering: What annoys you most when it comes to fanfiction?

Spelling and grammar? Proper spacing? Proper characteraization?

Though my list streches a little too far, some of the things I just can't stand when it comes to to FF are:

-OC's. Mary-Sues included. Bleh.
-Improper spelling / grammar / Improper spacing
-Cruddy work getting praised
-Characters not in character. AU is an exception.

And it goes on.

-Obviously, sloppily made characters.
-1337-speak, Wapanase, writer didn't even try using spellchecker.
-Canons being OOC. AU is not en exception
-Songfics
-Hatefics
-Writer did not do the research
-OC fics (=fics entirely about OCs in the universe. Dude. Build your own world already.)
-Implausible romance. Romance without plot.
-Characters being warped gay/lesbian just for the hell of it.
-Too much WAAANGST
-AUs set in high school.

Will add moar maybe D:

OH YEZ! Script fics! Ew. To think of what a big deal it was when FF.net banned those (and songfics)!

I can't even think of any logical arguement that would support keeping those on FF.net. D: Scripts are boring to read, personally.

Elementary, my dear Stranger.

Japanese in English fanfiction. 'Jenna-chan', 'Isaac-sama'. The sort of crap you'd get from fangirls. Not only can they not speak it, but they also make the language a laughing stock.

I'll only hate the fanfic if it is poorly written. OC fics are alright with me. But I really do hate bad grammar.

I was reading some Sonic fanfic that made NO sense whatsoever. The only reason I got it was because the summary was "Sonic kills BAD GUYS" or something late that. It was really weird.
Also OOC -- Sonic almost killing Shadow and then walking away. Unless is some "good turns evil" fic.

I like Sonic too much...
