People who put "better than it sounds!" in their summaries. If you have the confidence to post your story to the world, have enough confidence to leave out these four unnecessary words! I'm sure your story is great!

Authors who haven't been acquainted with the SHIFT button. Sure, sometimes you can forget to capitalize, but it should not be a habit. nO 1 lyks rding intrnt speek.

Grammar. A dying art.

Too many couples in a story. Seriously how can you fit, Percabeth, Perlia, Peratemis, Perthena, Perico, Puke (LOL), and Peraphrodite in fewer than 20 chapters?

Nico X OC. This is just a personal pet peeve. I don't like stories with Nico and any girl, unless it's Thalia.

Stupid Percy. Many authors tend to augment his idiocy until his character becomes a very hot, but very stupid hero. They also lose his sarcastic inner voice and make him unable to cohesively make his way through a conversation.

Exhibit A:

Waitress: What would you like to drink?

Waitress (thinking): What a hottie!

Percy: Um…uh…well…my name…is, uh, my name…my…PERCY!

Waitress: What?

Waitress (thinking): So hot, but so dumb. I'm going to spit in his food.

Seaweed Brain. If you're including Annabeth and Percy's back history, then using this name is perfectly fine. However if an author is writing a story about Annabeth and Percy, but they're in high school and they aren't part of the Greek God world, it's nearly impossible to justify this name.

Exhibit A:

Percy does something stupid

Annabeth: You're such a Seaweed Brain!

Percy: Seaweed Brain?

Annabeth: Well…your head must be full of kelp because you're so stupid!

Seriously, who uses "kelp" as their first go-to?

Spelling. Right up there with Grammar, another dying art.

Flamers. Be nice.

People who make a big deal about flamers. We get it, no one likes them. Just like no one likes that Bieber kid. Don't talk about them, don't give them more power, and don't give them more importance.

Stories in which the characters discover fanfic, the Percy Jackson books, or the Percy Jackson movie. These are solely meant for fangirls and boys, like me. Let's not give our favorite heroes the pleasure of reading about their own prowess.

Stories that end with "I won't update until I get 6.4039 reviews". Please, please, please don't do this. Though many of us don't leave reviews, we still add you to Favorite Author/Story or Story Alert. There are other ways for your fans to show support for your work so don't give us a restriction for reading it, otherwise we lose interest.

That's it for now. lol this sounds pretty whiny, but what do you think?
