1. First names. No. They never call each other by first names, and it is very OOC for them to do it.
2. "The Oncologist" and/or "the Diagnostician." This leads to the fic not being read, period.
3. Overuse of any line/joke/idea that was used once on the show. This includes, but is not limited to: bald kids, pancakes, boy-wonder oncologist. If you only saw it once on the show, it's not fair game. Especially quoting the dialogue on the show. You really think they're going to have the exact same conversation twice?
4. House laughing. It's EXTREMELY infrequent on the show, so when I read that House laughed 20 times in your fic, I'm thinking he was on some serious drugs.
5. Related to #1.... "Jimmy." May be used up to once per fic (up to twice for fics longer than 10,000 words), and only in a joking or sarcastic way.
6. Touching House's leg leading to unbearable pain. He's handicapped, yes, but his leg is not made of glass. He won't explode if you touch it.
7. Overdoing the whole "Wilson is unfaithful" thing. Fics where House decides Wilson is cheating because he cheated on his wives are so done. Move on. And the new evidence suggests Wilson isn't as much of a ladies' man as House makes him out to be. Basically, if you're calling Wilson a manslut, we're going to have a problem.
8. The word "leer." Moderation is the key. Unfortunately, the fandom has decided that House loves to leer and he does it allll the time.
9. Terms of endearment. Thankfully, it's not too common, but does anyone honestly believe they call each other "sweetie" and "honey" with any degree of sincerity?
