noyabeansmy wrist isn't hurting that much anymore! it was still painful this morning but over the course of the day it's been better. I'm continuing work on Timeless #8 now and this is what I found:
"... Akinori decides it's best that he telephonee them back."
I laughed so hard when I saw this (it's the last line in the draft atm) cos I wrote it when I was lying in bed, and on my phone. I think I was already half asleep when I wrote this, because no way would I have let such a typo slip lmaoooo.
while we're on the topic of writing fails, I'll just dig out my collection from when I was writing Across the Ages, which I compiled on Tumblr.
lines like these are the reason why I had hell editing ATA...

1. He turns to Yaku with an apologetic look on his face.
The last three words are so extra like pls
2. “It does?” Yakku can’t help asking as he looks at Kuroo.
Oh, so now he’s Yakku Morisuke.
3. But Oikawa smiles, and it is a charming smile, Yaku has to admit - calming, intimidating and attractive all at once, allowing one to lower their guard - which is exactly what mages do best. Yaku has experience in dealing with mages, though, so he isn’t fazed by this.
There is a thing called “trying to squeeze too many ideas and words into one paragraph” and this is a stunning example of that.
4. The shadows under his eyes are dark, and his eyes themselves seem weary in a way that Kuroo knows too well, and not in a good way. What..

Date: 2017-04-30 03:51 am (UTC)I used "assassinator" instead of "assassin" for a fic I wrote in 2005 and NOBODY told me "assassinator" wasn't a real word until I found it myself some ten years later when I was editing it to repost it. Pfft. I also confused "rummage" and "rampage" in another old fic, a mistake that I caught some ten years later (again)...
A friend once read a fic with the typo "he made her shit next to him" instead of "sit." Not to mention all those astronomy papers I've read where "redshift" became "redshit"... One should always ctrl-f "shit" in their writing to make sure there isn't an unfortunate typo lmao
