Random Poll: Fandom Pet Peeves
I'm taking a break from boredom. Ergo ticky boxes!!
Poll What are your fandom pet peeves?
*AAAAAAAAH, I MISSED EPITHETS! AHHHH!
The list above are by no means complete or universal - they are just ones I've seen often. I'm curious to know what your pet peeves are (especially if they're unusual/ridiculous)!
If you have more peeves not listed above, please comment!

The Oxford comma one annoys me to a completely irrational level, as does purple prose. I'm sure the latter is people trying to sound like really 'great writers' in a lot of cases, and FAIL!!
Also, a big YES to epithets, and to smooshing together of ship names. Although, weirdly, Snarry is the only one that doesn't bug me -- which is particularly odd as the ship itself makes me shudder. But I would like to banish Drarry from the face of the earth -- and Merthur too!!!
And seriously, typos in the header? If you can't even get that right, the chances of me clicking the link are zero
Oh, and edited to add - really redundant warnings, like 'gay sex' in a slash fic

The Oxford comma thing kills me. Or if authors don't use commas at all. Sentences get so confuzzling!
Name smooching doesn't really bother me much. Personally I don't really use them unless I'm on tumblr (tags). But epithets!!! UGH!!!!!
Omg, ikr. If there are typos or errors in the header, the fic is probably littered with SPAG-issues, as well.
Ah yes. "Warning: Fic contains gay sex." Dude, it's an NC-17 slashfic! I'd be more concerned if you DIDN'T include M/M sex!

I don't mind it so much in other fandoms, but DRARRY SUCKS. Snarry, I can live with. As long as I don't have to recognise its existence.
