thinking about "tender fenestrations"
Windows have feelings too, Nutty.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
"Foreplay" is a good word, I think, Susan, but "caresses" comes off as, I don't know, bad romance novel language. Like, I would never use the word "caress" outside of a soap commercial or a sex scene; whereas I use "ministration" or words closely related to it all the time.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The problem with a word like "ministration" is that it seems a bit too wishy-washy to describe a sex scene. It's too all-encompassing. It could describe a nurse tending to a patient in a manner acceptable under most hospitals' code of ethics, or it could describe a nurse tending to a patient in a manner more commonly seen in a XXX movie.
