"Out of character-ness" I feel you one is when they're trying to be like the next SP or when they flash-foward in the future (I really hate that) or when there are fan clans and finally when they pull things that are like dues ex machina. For example, there was this story that I read (I don't remember the title) in which Tigerstar somehow survives and makes Ravenpaw his deputy...yeah, I don't think Starclan would've allowed him to live even if Tigerstar repented. Or when the fan clans have really weird names like XylophoneClan that make no sense.

When they don't have any real characters, just one mary-sue and twenty Clanmates who love her.
Bad plot twists
Giving cats hair
Starkit's prophecy rip-offs that are never as funny as the original

I'm cool with Fan Clans if they're done right honestly. Is guilty of writing 'fics with fan clans
However, here are mine:
-Badly developed characters This is a big one. It's important we can relate to or understand the characters. Why are they a certain way? How do they feel about things going on, or those around them? Why do they feel that way about things? What do they do that makes them a likable or good character? How do they change or grow throughout the story? They can't be hateful/nasty in the beginning, then all of the sudden their character does a complete 180 for no reason.
-Badly developed villains Another big one. When you read about a villain, you want to know why they are a villain. Not that they just kill/hurt cats for the hell of it. There has to be some sort of reason, or background that made the villain the way they are. It doesn't need to be some sad sob story, but at least give the reader an understanding for what makes them do the things they do. And it's also important to make the villain interesting. Yes, we aren't supposed to like them--they're the villain. However it's boring to read about a stereotypical villain doing stereotypical things.

I can't stand when a perfectly developed and strong canon character meets an OC, and that OC is like, completely over-powering and "knows all", and then proceeds to try and lecture the canon character???
Uhm. No thanks. I don't like OC's that are stronger than all the canon characters right off the bat and act all superior and the canon character is all like "woahhhh! Omgg, teach meee!!!"

-Abuse stories. All of them are incredibly disgusting and poorly executed. The concept is also completely impossible with a well-built and stable Clan, with well-built and stable characters.
-Prophecies. There can be a story without prophecies, because god knows canon has been driving prophecies into the dirt and beating them over the head for years now. They're almost all uninteresting, predictable, or plain stupid. Next to none of them are executed well or well thought over, even though there are many other alternative plot points.

I don't read many fanfictions but I don't like when prophecies are too obvious. "Bear and wolf will combine to overthrow the evil Badger." and then there are characters in the story named Bearfur, Wolfclaw, and Badgerstar... wow I wonder who the prophecy could be talking about?
I also dislike human highschool AU's. They always seem to center around Dovewing and Ivypool and have the exact same storyline. Also, the characters are always OOC to the point they aren't even the same characters, just original characters that share Warrior cat names.

obvious prophecies. not that the actual series is usually very good with that
Starkit ripoffs
Kittypets just randomly being accepted by Clans for no reason at all, Daisy-style, when they provide nothing to the Clan
everything is romance. dude, if you're going to write a story, you can have romance in it bUT DONT HAVE THE ENTIRE STORY BE ROMANCE AND NOTHING ELSE
Things that are written just so some author can make their bizarre and uncomfortable IvyxHawk dreams come true
Villains that are evil just for the sake of it. Again, not like the actual series is good at that.
Edgy black and red cats that kill everyone and are super emo
bad grammar
not enough detail so it reads like bad roleplaying one-liners
OCs that are basically ripoffs of canon characters

- High school/modern human AUs. Personally, I find them to be cliché, overused, and quite boring to read. I have yet to read a Human!Warriors fanfic that has an actual theme (tribal, forest-themed, ect.).
- Any kind of story revolving around abuse. They're very disturbing and repulsive to read.
- Canon characters being written OOC. :c
- When the layout isn't very neat in general. I'm not reading a story if everything is clumped together in one giant wall of text with no line break. It's as if the "enter" button doesn't work or something.
- Mary-Sues, overall. I've seen so many I've lost count.

I agree. I really want to see a tribal Warriors human AU. The high school and modern ones don't work.

I agree. I really want to see a tribal Warriors human AU. The high school and modern ones don't work. I second that. It also bugs me a little that most of the time the modern humans will keep their canon warrior name. No, I don't know what else they would be called. But I think it'd be weird to meet a person with "Blossomfall" as their real name.
I LOVE the Human!AUs that have that native tribal setting, with a huge feeling of family and culture. It doesn't necessarily have to be "primitive"; post-modern is great as well.

- Evilheart, the well-respected warrior with the copious scars and glowing red eyes is secretly.....evil! - All of the Clan died except one special kit. - Non-leaders getting access to nine lives. - BloodClan appearing out of nowhere when they have no relevance to the story. (This applies to canon too.)

I hate it when cats are reincarnated. Also, when they have special powers. A prophecy is okay, but powers are across the line for me. It's why the first series was so good.

Actually, it is stated in the OS that Firestar had powers. Powers were NEVER new in the second arc nor the third arc; it's just when people started complaining about them. It's not really like the other powers, but it still counts. Firestar constantly got dreams about the future-- a power only granted to medicine cats(when medicine cats were still mystical and special). Peeve that's also in the series: - When people treat medicine cats like normal, ordinary cats that are just there to heal, and cats can easily switch from medicine cat to warrior and back to medicine cat. Especially when they forget about signs, prophecies, and omens.

Bad fanfictions where people try to justify the villains such as Mapleshade or Thistleclaw and it's just a huge pity party fest.

ive only read one good fanfic where the cat was abused as a kit. the story behind it made perfect sense and all the cats had developed personalities. it ended up making me cry. but other than that one they all seem to be garbage but the reason behind that isnt bc theyre abused for no reason. that happens irl a lot. its bc they are all the same thing 95% of the time

Wait, what's wrong with the word orbs??
Anyway, I really don't like human AU fics because I want to read about cats not humans. Seriously, if Warriors were about humans I most likely would never have read it. But I suppose that's more a preference than a pet peeve?
