What are your fanfic author pet peeves?

Lol, got bored and was surfing AFF for something to read and I thought I would do one of these for the first time in a while. Let's be nice but honest here, and I would love to hear some good answers.

My personal author pet peeve is when an author posts tons and tons of extremely short chapters (like 250-500 word chapters) and posts about 300 hundred of them, even more when they post all the chapters all at once and don't use the wonderful ability the internet gave us to build suspense for the next chapter over some time. I get tired of the pressing buttons and it is hard to keep track of the events of each chapter, plus many of them lack creative writing points that I deem essential (e.g. internal thought, descriptive actions, suspense, narrative hook). It sounds awful because I'm sure that very many of them are great reads and that the author put in effort to write them, but I immediately scroll past them when I see them.

Tell me about yours!
