I agree with most of the points you make - headers frequently put me off reading, mostly for the reasons you say. I've developed a pretty good radar for when I'm going to end up reading a thirteen year old's fantasy, although sometimes I click the link anyway, and invariably end up going o_O
The only thing I don't agree with in this post in fact is the naming names at the beginning - I hope you left concrit on those writers' fics before denouncing them in public like that? If you don't like their stuff, fair enough. We all have people we avoid. But actually naming them in a rant about bad!fic? Bit harsh...
