I don't have a lot to say, so this will be quick.
Authors, when you're posting lit of yours up, make sure that your author's notes, description, babbling, etc, is grammatically correct. You should be sure to spell things correctly and cut down on the abuse of emoticons.
I don't know how many times I've passed fics over because their cut said something stupid like "Fic's here!", or the author uses ^_^ or XD or whatever more than twice.
If your intro isn't right, no one will believe that your literature is legit. If you can't even write your author's note correctly, why would I risk opening your fic and finding even worse?
To be a good author, you have to be good everywhere you present your work, like a model has to look like a model everywhere even if she just stepped off a twelve hour flight (any watchers of America's Next Top Model here? That show is crack). Maybe that's a bad analogy.
I can forgive typos and the like, but if after writing a fic you still put that dreaded apostrophe into 'fics', it's a no-go.
