Backbutton:

* Crappy plot summary. Yep, writing a good summary is hard. So us writing a good fic. If you're not capable of doing one, then I doubt you can do the other. If you're simply not willing to TRY and write a decent summary, then that doesn't bode well for the rest of the fic.

* Out of character dialogue or other actions. I'm not here to read a story about some completely unrecognizable people who happen to have the same names as my favorite characters, I'm here to read about my favorite characters.

* Clichéd AUs. High school is an instant back button. Ditto coffee shop. I might give bookstore a try if the writing seems OK in the first chapter but honestly, that's pretty iffy as well.

* Using present tense. Second person POV. First person POV us also doubtful unless your first few sentences are goddamn amazing.

* Anything that makes me suspect that the scene I'm reading is actually a dream one of the characters is having.

* Really obvious historical anachronisms/errors or glaringly anachronistic speech.
