Tinley Ling
I'm a Tinker, I tinker with things
This isn't really a pet peeve of mine, but just something that always surprises me.
People who write in first person.
There's nothing wrong with that, it just always throws me because most write in third person.

OOC Account
OOC drama motivating IC reactions.
Edit:
Also Visa-Versa, when IC reactions prompt OOC hurt feelings because someone's else character looked at yours with a jaundiced eye. Smile! It's just a game.

Akatan Adasca
The Arkanian Dragon
Tagteaming off the above (or maybe saying the same thing in a different way?). When someone assumes poor OOC intent because the IC actions, of another character, impact their character in a negative way (or way in which wasn't intended by said writer).
It's a game. Characters do things. Evil characters do evil things. Doesn't make the writer evil.

I mean, obviously he's the exception. But for everyone else, the point stands. Except for [member="B.I.A.N.C.A MK VII"], she's ebul as well.

[member="Akatan Adasca"] - Can droids be evil? I mean, shouldn't we just take ones like Bianca to the scrap heap?

Lord Ajihad
I use Aristois
I hate it when I try to write Aji's alternate identity, and people blatantly ignore it and meta.

You can use two different accounts. Fool them OOC and IC.

When romantic relationships in rp come to bad ends..
..Or when characters die and you can't continue that RP with those other chars you grew so fond of.

Oh yay these are fun!
People agreeing to something and then completely doing the opposite mid rp so you have to restart with someone else so you can accomplish what you set out to do.
Knowing how to really do something or use science to perform an action just for the other writer to brush it off literally by just saying they counter it. (I.E. mid swordfight using a description of a real life parry or disarming technique just to be told it shouldn't work cuz soresu and that's it) Also not my fault when people don't know neat tricks that can be done by understanding the Meissner Effect. . . .
also everyone ever who tries to use slicing here. . . .*cries so much reading those*

Hooooo, boy...
I've got a fair few because I'm an elitist git, but the biggest has got to be the would-be gods who - oddly enough - can do no wrong whatsoever. They're powerful beyond measure, skilled beyond compare, can't lose even if they deliberately tried to, and are just so wonderful in every last capacity it's a wonder that God saw fit to bestow their glory and magnificence on us mere mortals. Grammar mistakes I can deal with. Cliched backstories I can stomach (Little Orphan Bob losing his parents only to kill his parents' killer at the ripe old age of nine wasn't the first, and won't be the last). Hell, with enough whiskey I can even tolerate the occasional Enoby Darkness Dementia Raven Way. But not the would-be gods. Never the would-be gods.
