So many people's fics would be improved with a good thesaurus and a dictionary so they can figure out the nuances.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Dawson's Creek??
Well, I said it was guilty. And there really are some good Pacey/Joey stories out there. I've just read all of them, and so was have been trying new things. Not good.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I was just reading a published book in which someone was waiting for something with "baited breath," and I got annoyed at the typo, but then I realized that the thing he was waiting for was fish, and I got confused as to whether it was actually a typo or just a really bad pun.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
tender fenestrations
I am now officially envisioning a Dawson's Creek/French Revolution crossover fiction attempt, in which Marie Antoinette (who was, after all, famous for shoving her hairdresser out the window to his death on the cobbled court a few storeys below) tries to seduce Pacey with promises of cake.

Crimean War Dawson's Creek Fiction
(It actually isn't that bad, and I like the other stuff the author writes.

BTW, can I alternately thank everyone for forgiving my sloppy typing (this, as well as not seeing the typos when I read before posting, is apparently a side effect of this damned multiple sclerosis), and bless the fact that the phoenix, unlike most boards, doesn't set my poor typing in stone after 30 minutes?
So I can go fix "corssover", for instance.

(blinking) - into the Creek of Dawson rode the Six Hundred? Must check this out.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Although, okay, what is a good word for that?
What's wrong with the old-fashioned "caresses" or, for that matter, "foreplay"?

Always Anti-fascist!
As far as sloppy typing, that would be the pot calling the kettle black, and wrod, on the editing chances.

Thrive to spite them
My current pet peeve isn't a badfic thing, it's just over used: "ghosted across". Susan's right, "caress" is good, "slid" is a good as well. There's really nothing wrong with the phrase itself, except I see it too much.
