- Characters that are either all good or all evil
- A story that shows one viewpoint or group as either all good or all evil
- Dull or unimaginative or overly-cliche verbiage
- Emphasis on the mundane w/o offering a new viewpoint
- Too much description of any one thing, no matter how artful
- Flat, lifeless, changeless characters
- Either all-lovable or all-unlovable characters
- Too much input from the narrator if he is not one of the characters
- Too much predictability
- Complete lack of predictability
This is it for now…still a work in progress.
