Author has written 9 stories for Naruto, One Piece, and Eyeshield 21. EbilBaka desu. Prepare to be awe by my silliness. Bwhahaha... PET PEEVES IN STORIES The "OMG HE'S HOT/DAMN HE'S SEXY" phrase - Seriously. Don't use it too often, in fact don't use it and especially by capitalizing the HOT/SEXY words. And definitely not just a few sentences into a story. It says how much about the character(s) of the story I was about to start reading. I would rather appreciate a grown man to not act like a simpering, lust-driven immature boy whose inner dialogue goes like that. Especially if applying to characters in a series like Naruto. Remember they are all ninjas growing up in harsh world where death and violence is not uncommon. Either they don't have a childhood or they are forced to grow up faster, even so I can't imagine no 7-year-old would be thinking about another person to be so HOT/SEXY that he/she would want to jump the bones out of the person. OOC - Out of character - Actually I can expect a character growing into having a different personality over the years. Like real people, I expect them to mature and change through their experiences. But abrupt 180degree change of character without an event that give rise to it and overnight is like a major turnoff. Unless you are writing the characters in a different setting (Alternate universe) that some original qualities of the person may seem impossible, then change it to fit the situational background. So unless you have an amazing story plot to keep me reading, I would be clicking Back on my browser without wasting a beat. Changing Gender - Changing a male character into a female character so as to pair him/her with another male character. If you are that uncomfortable about writing malexmale relationship, then leave the character alone! I really don't see the point.
