This is a drive-by post.  Re-reading TTWKP for a little inspiration for the new chapter and I am cringing like crazy.  Apparently, Jae here didn't know the difference between its and it's when she started this thing.  Once this is completed, I am going to edit the crap out of it.  The one that really cracked me up was the auto-correct on Monty ( Read more... )

Yeah, I hear ya. I made some similar errors in my haste during the beginnings of Origins and Baby Love. Once Tam got a hold of me though, and I didn't have to proof my own stuff, those errors disappeared. Well, mostly, because no one's perfect, right?

I'm pretty sure though, that most people forgave me the errors. At least I'd like to think so.

I think readers are fairly forgiving when it isn't blatantly horrible, which of course, your stuff is the complete opposite of. I don't remember seeing a whole lot of errors in either Baby Love or Origins and if I did, the writing was too superior to worry about where a comma or apostrophe was placed. I can't stand the their, there, they're thing. That is my pet peeve. I have stopped reading fics because of that. It's like nails on a chalkboard to my eyes.

Oh, I've got a few others, but that's one of mine also.
