Ok grammar and writing issues really annoy me.

Normally I wouldn't care too much. Sometimes some stories have really bad english, I understand the part where english isn't your first language, so what else would you do?

I personally if I didn't speak english first, I would've searched around and looked for a reliable co author. To just help with grammar, spelling and basic things like that. Sometimes there are a few spelling mistakes here and there but if there's so much errors, it just puts me off. If I really enjoy the idea of your story i will persevere and read it, if not then sorry.

This is just my opinion, and it's just been bothering me for a long time now.

I totally agree, it really annoys me! I hope you’ll be able to check out my fiction pet peeves, it includes some additional ones that you may not have talked about but I hope you will read and tell me what you think :) http://nynyonlinex.wordpress.com/2013/03/06/fiction-pet-peeves/

Totally agree! Sometimes their plot is so interesting and unique that I decided to read it but after a few chapters I just stop because the English totally turned me off. :/

I know what you mean. I've read good stories with awesome plots BUT. Gosh... Their grammar should definitely be revised. And there are users out there (like myself) who would actually kill to fix it up.
And another problem is that if we have learnt to read critically and now everything seems to bother me. -_- We share the same pain xD
