I find second person POV highly irritating to read. I'm not saying it can't be done well; it just tends to bother me.

I'm so with you on point number three. It's really funny too because it makes the characters seem really vain! Like they go around all day just thinking about their silky hair and lean muscles. :)

Exactly my point. :)

Professional authors make mistakes just like everyone else. All kinds of spelling, grammar, and syntax errors make it past editors and into published books. You can break all kinds of "rules" and still have an interesting story, but it is much easier to be noticed if your writing is relatively clean when it hits an editor's desk or a fanfic reader's computer screen.
