So I went and read my stuff on Archive of our Own and wow, there are missing words and doubled words.
And also I kept thinking "I could do better now"
Is it weird that I want to rewrite most of them?
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

My new favorite typo: instead of a "self-deprecating" smile, which I assume is what they were going for, they used "self-depreciating" smile.
Like, you assume that your value decreases by 10% each year?

Every so often I post this sentence: "His interest was piqued by her peaked nipple where it peeked over the top of her bodice." And I still get, "huh? I dun geddit."
I think we need more whips and chairs (admit it, you thought I was going to say chains, and this is not that sort of post) and fewer standardized tests in school.
