Proofreading Shame

Just found a typo in the opening sentence of "Starwort" as posted to the ficathon.  Edited it immediately.  Covered in embarrassment.  No wonder only two people read it.  Aaaargh.

Inserted 04/23/08 11:23 PM:  Three more typos now rooted out.  After posting to fkfic-l.  Sigh.

Inserted 05/12/08 04:51 PM:  And another one.  C'mon typos!  Come out and face me!  ;-)

Oh, good -- you'll get to see it corrected! I'm writhing in grammar-geek humiliation.

Ages ago, when there was more new FK fiction per week than there is now per year, I wouldn't finish reading a story if I encountered more than three errors before the end of the third paragraph. I perhaps fear my karma from that old triage method.

Edited to Add: And thank you for planning to read it! I appreciate it!
