The problem I've noticed is that so many authors forget that magic exists. Like, it exists only when the plot says so and otherwise they have to live as Muggles. [...] Why are they doing this? Why is this even a plot point? Magic could just make this go away.

Goodfic, badfic and guns
So I’m catching up on Potterfic Weekly, as you do, and there’s a scene with a gunfight.* Which leads off on a tangent about guns in fic, and one of the crew mentions a fic in which Molly gets shot by the Grangers. “Wait,” I thought, “surely they’re not talking about Knowledge is Power here.” And indeed they were.
(They weren’t impressed by the fact that it has Molly calling Hermione a Mudblood. As well they shouldn’t.)
* I’ve read the fic they’re covering (“To Shape and Change”, a time travel fic where Harry sends Snape into the past) and it’s good. And that scene is one of the few examples I’ve seen of guns in Potterfic actually being handled well; I’m not convinced that Tom Riddle, being Muggle-raised and with a tendency towards violence, wouldn’t know what a gun was, but aside from that it works.
None of the characters like Green Day because they don't exist yet.
Author’s note on a Marauder-era fic, quoted on Potterfic Weekly
Character #1 says "I love you, so-and-so!" and character #2 says "I love you too!" and their super soulmate powers ACTIVATE!

No one is ever in character in a Twilight fan fiction, especially if they changed them all human so no one is a vampire.

This is another line from the story, and I quote - this is a line from Harry - "Draco Malfoy and Professor Snape are at the mercy of giant carnivorous spiders!" My note on that is "Dan Radcliffe in his wildest dreams could not pull off that line."

The problem we have here is that all of the guys are dating the wrong women, and they all need to move one chair over to the left, because Harry should be dating Ginny and Ron should be dating Hermione and Draco should be dating his left hand.

You cannot kill Voldemort with karate. It doesn't work.
