Reading these comments make me think that I'm a terrible writer ;)

I don't have a beta, that's partially because I only have internet access a couple times a week for maybe an hour a two and to work with a beta would be pretty damned hard. I try with my grammar, and I know I make mistakes. I did competitive speech in high school and undergrad so I write like I talk.

Spelling errors piss me off.

People who say 'this is my first...' piss me off. It's like you are fishing for comments on how great you are.

People who read and don't at least comment to say they read it piss me off.

While I love the love...I love to get concrit too. That being said, I suck at giving concrit. I was a member of a comm. once where I gave concrit and essentially got burned at the stake for it! It was a different fandom and all, not CM fans.

I hate song lyrics posted in stories. I base titles off song lyrics and I do tend to use song lyrics as the text in the link to the story, but that is the extent of my use of songs in the stories.

I don't read cross-overs with shows I don't watch.

I don't mind alt/un as long as the writer supports it and does a good job at creating the story. For example, in my current series Hotch isn't married and JJ was never with Will/had Henry but I started that out in the very beginning and have supported it through the series. In fact, some of my favorite stories have been alt/un, such as the one where the team is teenagers at a camp and Reid is an elective mute? Who wrote that again?

I love the 'porn' stories when they are just porn. Either write the sex into the plot and have it work or just write the sex.
