I agree with Diizoid, but I have a few things that I really wish people would point out and not just let that egg sit on my face. I have a very descriptive (occasionally florid or over-worked) prose style, that sometimes can get in the way of my plot. I know this about myself, so I try to keep it in mind when editing (I ask myself things like 'Does it matter what precise shade of purple her shirt is?' and 'Can I just say deep purple instead of aubergine?'). But I know that I'm human, and I slip up. One of the best con crits for me is when someone says "this sentence right here, you need to trim that back to under a paragraph." I also have issues with continuity, and because that's also a huge pet peeve when others do it, I like to be reminded when I inadvertently re-name a character. Same issue with not using contractions.
