Like, ridiculously long/short entries? Bad characterisation?

For me, it's when the author decides to take the route of "Main character is perfect, everybody loves her, those who don't are EVIL!" Yeah, sure, it's obvious that if you dislike someone, you won't exactly portray them without bias, but still, there re other, neutral people around who shouldn't just side with MC without a second thought.

"Hey, you're cute." -Popular
"UGH, YOU'RE SO ANNOYING! I will murder you." -Hot guy who is also love interest and said to be correct on everything he does
"omg my hero!!!!" -MC

I really like reading diaries, but when the entries don't have proper grammar almost always, it shuts down my liking of it.

@Wolfiegirl

Same. And when they are extremely short.

Something like if they have everyone has the same personality. That's sort of annoying. Also, if the diary is going all over the place, like you can throw in a few surprise twists, but too many kinda cut me out. Is this odd?

Grammar/ Text talk problems. Just no. Also when they have forms for other people and all they do is the sorting, and then those characters disappear for life. If you're not gonna put them in the story then don't post forms at all. Also when it's not neatly organized.

As you can see I am very picky XD

If you guys have noticed, this thread has been dead for a while now. I am traveling like crazy this summer, and I am on a huge writers block. Most likely I won't be writing in this anymore, and if I do, it will be near the end of August when school starts. So yeah....

If you guys want to see some more of my writing, (though probably not) I have wrote two diary entries so far in the {CS PET "DIARY" CONTEST} and will write more. Though the forms are closed, you can still read all those diary entries

Again, I'm sorry guys, just been too caught up in life.

Just posting this here if anyone didn't see it in the diary Sketchbook.

The style of the post. I am ABSOLUTELY annoyed by grammar and punctuation and spelling. I've still tried reading some diaries that just go like:

____PART1
hey diary thing guess what i did today
i pranked the queen bee
yep
-------------------------------------------------------
____ PART 2
yeah so heres how it went
there was pie for lunch today and i set up a tripwire
she triggered it and faceplanted into her pie and then got splashed on with water
everyone was laughinggg

IT IS SO HARD FOR ME!
Somediaries I don't mind because they have an actual plot, and I can put up with it. Short entries like that also bother me. I could list everything I guess..
Here goes.

GRAMMAR - JUST TRY TO BE GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT PLEASE?!
PUNCTUATION - JUST TRY PLEASE!!!
SPELLING - LOOK IT UP IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL PLEASE!
STYLE
DETAIL - MORE LIKE LACK OF DETAIL.
DIFFERENCE IN CHARACTERS - MORE LIKE LACK OF DIFFERENCE.
TEXT TALK - LEARN HOW TO TALK NORMALLY PLEASE, FOR MY SANITY.
PLAINNESS
RANDOM PUNCTUATION THAT DOESN'T BELONG THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SENTENCE -COME .ON SERIOUSLY I DON,T KNOW, HOW "YOU DO 'THIS ALL . THE TIME,
PERFECT CHARACTERS
STEREOTYPICAL
CAPITALIZING THE FIRST LETTER OF EVERY SINGLE WORD
CAPITALIZATION - PLEASE TRY.
HAVING FAMILY MEMBERS WRITE IN THE DIARY. PLEASE. END THIS.

Okay,okay. I'm stopping there since I'm sure I just shot down my own Lucky Horseshoe a bit, and yes I AM REALLY PICKY. Some diaries I can read but I get really depressed because I have no more distraction and these errors really bother me.
