Actually, that one brings up my other peeve(s):
1) Illuminatus-itis: The tendency to scene break without any clue to the reader, so the poor reader can be 6-10 lines into a new scene without noticing it. Named for the work which foisted this style on us first.
2) Linebreak-ism: The tendency to inflict new lines at seemingly random moments.
3) The burly detective syndrome gone wrong: Mostly seen in BtVS fiction. Instead of just leaving it at 'the red-headed witch', writers go further and use silly descriptors like 'the former present of the We-Hate-Cordelia Club'.--
