Things I Will Never Include In A Story

Have you ever noticed that ONE thing that could happen in a story that makes you roll your eyes or even put the book down? Sometimes, an element that can even make you never pick up the book again?

Before I get started, I want to mention that these aren't necessarily BAD things, they're just things that bug me beyond belief 99% of the time I see them in fiction, so I said I'd never include them in my own.
  1. Love triangles
  2. Amnesia storylines
  3. Jesus allegories
  4. Not passing the Bechdel Test (might not apply to short stories)
  5. Bad futures
  6. Epilogues that take place in the future
I'll update as I think of more.

Do you have any themes or plot twists that you would never include in YOUR story?
