The worst example I've come across over the years was when, halfway through the story, the author put in a note to say that she had several scenes to go in here, but she couldn't be bothered to write them. So the reader should just imagine in their own heads that A, B and C had happened and then carry on with the rest of the written story.

I figured if the author couldn't be bothered to write the middle of the story, I couldn't be bothered reading it. wink
