When people make self-insert turns into cat and teleports into the Warrior series...then they have infinite knowledge of the clans and cats (because they're a fan of the books) and save the day with their courage and strength and beauty and blah blah blah. And then the convince the clans twolegs aren't that bad.
And when people keep calling eyes orbs 24/7
And finally canon characters being OOC, once I read a Fanfiction where Bramblestar killed Leafpool because she was badmouthing Jessy or something and Squirrelflight pulled a Ashfur.
Edit: Oh, and I just found a Fanfiction with a super obvious meaning: "Four cats, different yet not, join their clans and fight the Dark Forest." Oh my! It can't be MainCharacterkit and his siblings, right?
Another Edit: And when someone is forced to be a medicine cat, this applies to canon too.

When the spelling and grammar is so dreadful that you can't even understand what the hay is going on. Or text talk in Author's Notes.

i have hazel orbs what color orbs do you have I also have hazel orbs. Clearly you two can never be main characters or villains then. I mean, where are your special rainbow-sparkle-shimmer eyes or edgy red eyes? :') I don't read a lot of fanfiction but mine would be seeing these already mentioned obvious prophecies. I once saw someone make a whole article talking about not using giveaway words that make it super obvious who the prophecy is about. Funnily enough, the examples they made were just as bad as the ones they called obvious Also, I once read a fanfiction where the premise was that Sandstorm had Stonefur's kits and those kits also had children an so on an so forth and it resulted in hilarious lines like "Those kits are three-sixteenth ThunderClan!". There was barely any actual story in this, though

Bad grammar and/or a lot of spelling mistakes.
Really long or strange names or Mary Sue names, like Angelflight or Junipershadow.
When none of the characters have distinct personalities.
Relationships with no development.
Titles that are boring or predictable, like "Blackclaw's Journey" or something.
Fanfics that always start with the main character(s) being born or being kits.
And also, PLEASE have a layout that doesn't strain the eyes much. You don't have to have fancy coding, but please don't put huge walls of text or use a lot of bright orange, neon green, and red text that hurts my eyes a lot, etc.

Human-turned-cat fan fictions
High school AU (Honestly if you do human AU, make it interesting such as Tribals of Gangs or something unique :/ ).
Self-inserts
Rushed plots
Forbidden Romances (where it's super bad, either a GrayXSilver rushed or DoveXTiger annoyance)
Lemons
One-shots where the characters are made out of character (Talking 'bout that Squirrelflight in "The Right Choice")
Super obvious prophecies
Special main characters and friends
Obvious villain

The bottom one sounds great.

When it seems like the only people in the clan are the MC and his/her friends, and that one villain plotting in the corner.
Protagonists that only complain and do nothing.
Obvious plot twists: You spent 5 pages saying how good this cat is, you didn't even do that for the cliche hero™, OOOO::: he's evil!!!

=one good character, rest of the characters are horribly developed. =cookie-cutter warriors- "loyal, brave, nice". =cookie-cutter villains just for control (don't get me wrong, these can be executed well.) =abused kit stories =overused forbidden relationships =breaking the warrior code and getting off scot-free =elemental powers (again, can be executed extremely well.) =mary-sues / gary-stus =lemons don't forget horrible names -sparklerainbowdashflower not fanfics, but when people sign up in your own clan as leader.

Mine has to be when people capitalize the suffix in a cat's name. For example: JayFeather, HollyLeaf, LionBlaze. The books are written with their names being like this: Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, so it kinda bothers me.

This one is for fanfics in general-
When someone updates a story just to say that they're discontinuing it.

-Any fanfic that has Thistleclaw taking over Thunderclan (either by Bluefur not giving up her kits or otherwise). The concept itself isn't bad, but every fanfic about this ends up the same. Basically it boils down to "Thistleclaw destroys Thunderclan, and Bluefur or someone else has to save it."
-Fanfics following too closely to the original books, with only minor changes (e.g. characters being switched around, but still falling into the roles the originals had). Not only is it predictable, but if I wanted something close to the novels, I'd read them.
-Anything where she-cats are mistreated or otherwise look down upon. It's used way too much, and it doesn't make sense because all it does is weaken a Clan (particularly if others don't follow this rule). There are some exceptions, but most are too predictable (a she-cat rises up and changes it all).
-The first update being devoted only to the allegiances, or the allegiances not being posted at all. The former situation is actually banned on sites (although no one enforces it, it's technically a nonstory chapter) and is annoying for a reader who expected content. The second makes things very confusing, unless someone explains it all through author's notes (posting some allegiances in these notes is fine)
-also goes for fanfics in general, but asking for OCs. That goes double if someone doesn't update until they receive OCs. There's no guarantee someone will receive OCs, and on top of that, asking for them doesn't really go with the story. It's better to have that in your profile and direct someone there.
-Bringing Skyclan back without it working realistically (e.g. taking the time, the effort, the dangers, or even having no reason). Bringing the fifth clan back isn't bad, but something should be set in place so it doesn't seem like it's pulled out of nowhere or overly obvious.
-Tigerstar turning good after all the things he's done. It just doesn't work with his personality, or with the setting. Even with stories were he's benevolent from the beginning (meaning he never committed any crimes), it doesn't work a lot of the time because we have almost no idea how we was before he became evil. I've seen a rare few fanfics that pull this off, but most of the time it seems out of place.

This technically isn't about what people write in fanfictions, but it's more some of the reviewers. When you have some warriors in the allegiances, especially ones that would be common like Rabbitfur, Emberheart, Tawnyfoot, Graytail, etc., and there's that one person who says "oh, that's someone on this website" or "that's canon". When it's a name like Cinderpelt, Feathertail, Stonefur, etc. that's more understandable because that's a well-known canon character name. But if it's something like Hollypelt from GC that no one would remember, then that should be fine. As for names that are used by others, I get that someone has that name, but there are probably tons of other "Amberstorms" or "Brightfeather" or "Mistflower". Seriously, I have seen and been told this so many times, it gets on my nerves.
When the names are spaced like "Fire Star/Fire star", "Cinder pelt", "Misty star", etc. or when the prefix and suffix is capitalize like "FireStar", "SquirrelFlight", "SandStorm", etc. I mean, it's right in the book, it's not that hard to look.
When canon names like "Sandstorm", "Dustpelt", "Mistyfoot", "Fireheart", etc. are used. It just confuses people and makes no sense, especially because they're well-known characters.

When it starts with the main characters birth
When Main Character has a prophecy (especially an obvious one)
When they can't figure out an obvious prophecy
When someone's forced to be a medicine cat
Names like "Bleedingmoonlight"
Super long chapters

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.
What about when they're younger. Would they be called things like Blossombaby and Blossomhand?

I just can't wrap my head around that; do they use warrior names & cat symbols as some sort of code? Are they descended from people who had names like that? It's a mystery, tbh.

Since everyone has stated basically everything in the book of Warriors fanfiction cliches, here's mine:
When the main characters parents die moments after the main character being born, 90% of the time because of the main villain. (usually the other way is the dads dead beforehand and the mother dies birthing)
When the main character is an only child.
Those times when the main character has siblings but they are all killed by the main villain or something else. (Like sickness or being a stillborn, y'know the cliche ways)
When the main character has a forbidden name, either one that's stupid, over the top/edgy, or there because "Their special" (ex: Rivershine, Shadowforest, Thundertears, Windbutterfly, Starfur, Moonglitter)
The fan clan of the series is full of magical neon cats with powers and wings.
Horrible foster siblings and mom. (Nothing needs to be said about this. Just that the siblings usually have the personalities of jocks)
The cocky rival (usually one the main character has had since birth, and sometimes ends up being a villain or love interest, or just becomes a friend...not resolving anything)
The lovely moments when the main character moons over a guy ala anime.
Sloppily written ten villains that are evil for the sake of being evil.
That one edge lord thats somewhere in the story, usually meant to be the "bad boy".
The melodramatic depressed person who's so annoying that you'd rather throw them off a cliff. (And they never accurately portray depression, so that's much worse)
Im done now....

Mary-sues.
Ripoffs of Ivypaw and Dovepaw. "I'm not as good as my sister so I'll join some evil cats AND I'M GONNA LIKE IT!"
A prophecy claims that one cat will hold more power than Jay, Dove, and Lion combined and the cat turns out to be a PERFECT cat who everyone is crushing on. C'mon, be creative.
When names are spelled like "HollyLeaf" "Ivy Pool". If you've actually read the books at all, you should know that it's one word, like "Dovewing" "Jayfeather" Ancients are an excuse, but I'm talking Clan-wise.
Speaking of that, the same applies for "CatClan" spelled as "catclan" or "Cat Clan".
