Not Actually a Bee
One of my biggest peeves is a bit of a niche one, that I have some tolerance for happening sometimes but there'll be instances when it goes too far. I love group RPs. Love em to bits! Sometimes though there'll be instances of 1x1 dialogue within those RPs, and I hate when those drag on for so long that everyone else just feels excluded.
A lot of people I write with are significantly younger than me, maybe even half my age, so I'm a little more tolerant of one-liner replies to my multi-para posts. I just keep going and blindly hope that some of my writing style will just diffuse into their minds. That's how I learned to write more verbosely myself! Still, it does grate on me a little, especially if the post has no substance or even stalls the plot.
I'm also not a huge fan of contests of stubbornness. Thankfully I've not run into it much lately, but in combat sessions especially it's mega frustrating. I like to think of writing battle scenes with the objective of wowing an audience as opposed to having my character come out on top, so sure I take the fall sometimes.
Godmodding of course! One person I used to call my friend was really pushy about having one of my characters attend a party, but I didn't really fancy playing that character at the time so I gave her some in-character reason to be unable to attend. When said character then got ice beamed and dragged to the party I was absolutely livid.
Elitism. Can't stand it. The first forum I was at was full of it, and really limited my options on how I could have my characters interact with theirs. Limiting other people beyond what's reasonable is way uncool.
Whew that was a good rant
