Not for nothing, but there are some cliches in the Harry Potter fandom that urked me the first time I read them in a fanfic or about them in fandom. Mind, I don't read much outside a certain pairing, but damn it if the ones I do know about don't annoy me. Meh.

1. Certain MPreg fics. MPreg is kind of silly, but I can buy into the whole 'It's MAGIC' excuse as long as the story is interesting and the characters stay as true to canon as possible. The mpreg I hate is the type that is not so much about a pregnant man as it is about a wangtsy, teary-eyed girl with a particularly big clitoris. It's even worse when, after all the fucking angst over the first assbaby, the 'girl' doesn't even try to prevent a second mistake. (Ugh, it just makes me so angry... It's so idiotic...)

2. Slytherin Sex God. ... What? Seriously? (Makes me glad I didn't start reading HP fanfiction until after Half Blood Prince. There seems to be less of that after HBP.)

3. Lubricus and other such nonsense. The first time I read a character use a lubrication spell, I thought it was a fluke. But then it kept showing up, and showing up, and showing up...

4. Hyphened Last Names. This is just... pretentious? I don't know. Annoying. Either they keep their last name, or they take the name of the other. Don't give them both.
