I probably have lots of things that turn me off a story, but the most recent which I just managed to formulate to myself. I happened upon it several times and didn't know why the story bored me to death when I can see tons of squealing comments of how brilliant and erotic it was:
Some "serious" kink written as fluff - or worse, as an instruction manual. For me, the attraction of a kink is that it is kinky. And I don't care how detailed it is described if it fails to do the most basic thing for me: (no, not that, although that is of course there, too) make me think about it, try to imagine how it could be and why it would attract people with certain tastes or needs, even if it is normally not my cup of tea.
