Getting beaten over the head with political correctness.
"Explain-itis" where nothing can be left "unexplained" -- which in SF and Fantasy is really annoying.
An ending where suddenly we're expected to suspend disbelief over and over again to make the ending "upbeat."
Horror stories where the evil (whatever) simply can't be killed, rendering the whole book a waste of time. (If the protagonists never had a chance, why bother?)
