One of my biggest peeves? People who positively review something that clearly has no right to be read by human eyes. Those people have less of a brain than the author, IMO. They'd be the people to most likely willingly touch a pile of crap if it smelt like roses.
Another peeve? Yaoi. There seriously seems to be more of it than het fics around. At this moment, under the category of 'completed M-rated fics with only Naruto as a tagged character', 19 out of 25 fics on the very first page are of a goddamn gay coupling (NaruSasu, NaruKiba, NaruGaa, NaruSai and NaruKaka, to be precise). Of the remaining 6 fics, two of them have no second character tag, and the rest are fucking NaruHina.
The more I see NaruHina fics peppered everywhere, the closer I slip to making NaruHina the only NaruFem pairing I hate.

I dont mind yaoi, but it does take up a lot of the space.

Why do you think there's no-one like Sun Tzu or Leo Da Vinci anymore?
It's the clogging up that drives me up the wall...
I'm fine with people writing what they want, otherwise I'd be a hypocrite, but when I see nothing but that crap on every page, that's when I start breaking things.

Yeah. It doesn't really matter if you call them "shinobi" or "ninja". Even the Viz translation of Naruto uses the word "shinobi" a lot.
One of my peeves is these OCs (self-inserts) that find themselves in the Akatsuki or when the Akatsuki happen to find themselves in our world. Or when the Akatsuki turn into cats. Or when the Akatsuki find a baby. Get my drift?

Ugh, same here. Those Akatsuki self-insert fics are really prevalent in the Itachi and Deidara tags. It's annoying when I'm trying to find a good yaoi fanfic and only find ones about desperate fangirls.
And the cats thing is just stupid.

Primaverus Primaverensis, (From the order primaevera, meaning spring) this rare and endangered species of animal is constituted 90% of awesome and 10% of Epicness. Its special characteristic is that it has the rarely found ability to turn a perfectly sane fanclub leader (i.e., Astrid) into a complete fangirl. It has the extaordinary ability to defend itself from its predators by coming out of the lurking forests and spitting out drabbles, which hypnotizes the predator and turns their fangirl mode on, allowing them to escape. Its habitat is near the surroundings of boxland, though some specimens have also been reported dwelling in Narutoforum's sasukarin fc.
I've grown to hate stories where Naruto wears a "mask", it's a lame plot device to instantly turn Naruto into a genius without changing any events because Naruto certainly would have grown up differently if he was a genius.
When they have Naruto constantly calling Sasuke "Hey, teme!"
And then Sasuke replies "What, dobe?"
People who give Konoha all four seasons. For some reason that bugs me. It has been said in the show that Land of FIRE is warm year 'round.
Lame Japanese. Saying "hai" instead of a simple "okay". Using the whole "chan" and "kun" I can tolerate since that can not be translated otherwise but using every single Japanese word you think you know can get confusing and unnecessarily so for readers.
Most of all, the reviews. Even the so-called "betas" on there refuse to give you genuine critique.
Oh and a lack of yuri. I'm a straight onlygayontheweekends girl who can not stand yaoi. I'd prefer yuri and there is just none of it.
It is rarely ever done well. 9/10 times its being forced down my throat to acknowledge how "awesome" this OC main character is, but in reality it is just another terrible Mary Sue. Don't get me wrong I don't mind a small OC here and there, but when its a main character it is most the time akward and painful since you can feel with every word that the author is inserting themselves as the "cool kid" in the Naruto universe.
2. When characters are so far out of character that the only thing they have in common is their name.
When this starts to happen, I stop reading. No matter how far in the story I just can't accept it. It may be harsh but I just can't handle reading anything where (Example) Naruto is smarter than Shikamaru, and talks down to everyone like they're fucking stupid.
3. Unrealistic/Horrible Love Developments.
Ex. Sakura: SASUKE KUNNNN!
Sasuke: Sakura, you're annoying.
Sakura: But... I... I love you.
Sasuke: !?... How can you love a loner like me.
Sakura: I don't know, it just happened Sasuke-kun.
Sasuke: ... I'm an avenger at heart Sakura...but just maybe... I can give this "normal life" a try...with you. W-Will you marry me,Sakura?
What a terrible story. But appropriate for our world. Sometimes I feel like Im walking over a giant pile of shit. Morality and justice dont really suit me. Words like that and what comes out of asses are surprisingly similar. - (Black Lagoon)
"If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end." - (Gintama)
"If you're always worried about crushing the ants beneath you...you won't be able to walk." - (Berserk)
"Ive never expected a miracle. I'll get things done myself." - (Berserk)
"To obtain, something of equal value must be lost." - (Full Metal Alchemist)
"If living means bowing down to the likes of you bastards, I'd rather die on my feet with my head held high." - (Samurai Champloo)
"If you pretend to feel a certain way, the feeling can become genuine all by accident."
- (Darker Than Black)
"When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? No. When they are ravaged by an incurable disease? No. When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom!? No! It's when... they are forgotten." - (One Piece)
It only took about a couple of hours of looking around fics to gain one more peeve.
What is with all this Naruto stories in which he trains with the most random people and becomes a badass? I don't mind Naruto having different teachers (Hell, I even see it as a breath of fresh air) but when they given him some random fodder Chunin as a teacher...
It might be interesting for him to have a whole new teacher but they can't expect him to get to fucking Jonin level after training with a random Chunin for a few years.
I mean, the writer has to get real at some point, right?

I didn't even know what a "dobe" was until a few weeks ago.

Eh. I don't see the problem with giving Konoha more seasons.

I really can't stand when people go deep into the honorifics and start using Japanese like: "'Okay, Oba-san'" or somethin' like that. I read a fic earlier that had a problem with that.

Didja try the search engine? Just put in two girls' names and switch the thing to romance and see what pops up.

I agree completely.

Yeah. I hate Smart Naruto. And Dark Naruto. And Serious Naruto. And Powerful Naruto. And God-like Naruto. And all his other incarnations.

They do, but it never happens.
I can't stand these fics where some people (usually the Akatsuki) find themselves in our world or some people (usually an OC) find themselves in Naru-Land. I mean, c'mon! If they're going to be AU, then make it AU. If you're going to make your OC hang with the Naruto crew in Naru-Land....then don't write the fic!
But, honestly, this world traveling thing irks me.
I didn't even know what a "dobe" was until a few weeks ago.
Eh. I don't see the problem with giving Konoha more seasons.
Apparently "dobe" was used once in the series and for some reasons a lot of people use it in fanfics.
As for the seasons I agree it's not a big deal in the least. I never point it out in reviews I leave so it's just a weird thing that I realize is completely weird.
I like how some fanfics turn out to be like a cliche disney princess movie where whatever couple would fall in love with each other at first sight... or in the duration of one night~
*sarcasm of course*
