Writers do that Annoy you? 1) Cliche plots/unoriginality: a dark, mysterious guy and the Mary sue who fall in love w/ each-other. 2) over and under- description: no, we don't need 10 pages describing an outfit; yes, we do need more than a sentence describing a turning point of a novel. 3) Constructive criticism: you asked for it, you got it. If all you want is praise, ask for empty compliments. If you cry at constructive criticism, you wasted both my time in giving it and yours for asking. What annoys you?
