Do you know what I'm getting REALLY tired of seeing in fanfics? Pairing votes.
First it's almost always for a pairing I don't want, because everyone knows large groups of people are stupid, and the majority aren't usually right.
Second, it means you have no clue what the hell you're doing with your story, and the romance part is so unimportant that you can sub any character out for any other. Either that, or you had so little clue what to write about that you let the readers decide for you.
Come to think of it, I hate voting at all. If you need ideas for your story, ask a friend or something. Have you SEEN the readers on ff.net? Don't ask them for help, 9/10ths of them are total morons who I wouldn't trust to tie my shoes for me, let alone decide how my story should be written.
