Characters written completely different from their actual character bother me. Slight OOC is ok, but another more than "slight" annoys me to no end. Hotch isn't lovey-dovey, Reid isn't some helpless pansey, neither Prentiss nor JJ are badass b-words/damsels in distress, etc.
Most slash bothers me, not gonna lie. To be honest, the only slash I ever got into was Gundam Wing. If its not within canon, then I'm just kinda like ":|" the whole time (though, the GW slash was ever really canon it was really hilarious). Not that there's anything wrong with slash. If that's your thing, go for it. Its just not mine.
Which brings me to: anything out of canon bothers me. Point blank. Period. Enough said.
I'm one of those people who likes well-written OCs. I have a couple of my own, but I've never written them into an fanfiction before. I can't say I've ever seen a story involving an OC for Crimianl Minds before. Mary-sue, yes. OC, no.
That said, I can't say I've read a whole lot of fanficion for CM. As far as I'm concerned, very few canons have actualy been established within the show. I can't read about pairings that I don't see within the show.
I'm also not as big into fanfiction as I was when I was younger. Its like I was waiting for something to completely blow me away and I'm not finding that, so I'm just not very into it anymore. My standards for writing are probably too high, but whatevs~
