Damn straight.
More yuri fics, especially since they're usually done with some taste, and are much better than the craptacular fan-girl Naruto/Sasuke...which is why there aren't so many in the first place, as fan_boys_ don't generally write as much as fangirls.
As for things that bug me.......
Bad spelling and grammar. I'll stop reading a fic if it becomes beyond recognizable.
I like odd pairings, but only if they're done well.
Something like Naruto/Anko or Ranma/Kiima needs to be _better_ than a fanfic, with say, Ranma/Akane to make it work. without effort, the fic falls apart.
Not enough research done on either of the series an author is crossing. Fortunately, this isn't as prevalent, but it still really pisses me off when an author disregards a main element of one series to allow the puzzle pieces to fit.
Hidden/altered personality traits, like Ranma's super-genius, unless they're _really_ well explained away. If Ranma's really a super genius, he better have a _damn_ good reason for hiding it, not just something like hiding it from Nabiki or Genma to keep them from taking advantage of him.
Basically, as long as something's done _well_, I'll give it a read, except for yaoi, which I've been disheartened of due to the crap that is Naruto and HP on FF.
