pensnest: Mary Bennett drawing: I should infinitely prefer a book (Mary Bennett prefers a book)
I have been soothing my soul with glasspainting lately, which means going out into the conservatory (it gets lovely and warm when the sun comes over the house) and listening to a book on tape (yes, actual tape) as I potter. And I'm a bit horrified that, while the story reader can usually *act*, he/she cannot always *read*. They can't find their way properly through a sentence and carry the momentum as far as it needs to be carried. It's really irritating. What is infuriating is that in 'The Unknown Ajax' there were many uses of the word 'exacerbate'… and I am certain that they should have been uses of the word 'exasperate'. Gah. I can only conclude that there was no producer involved. Unless (she added, darkly) the exasperating exacerbation faux pas was the producer's fault. I've just flicked through the book to see whether the mistake was Heyer's, but couldn't find any examples. It seems unlikely.

Remix is open for signups… and I don't think I had better sign up. Sad, really, as I've done some good stuff with this challenge in the past. But unless there is someone else signing up for popslash, I see no point. It's still *my* fandom, but it isn't current for (apparently) anyone else, and I don't think it's right.

Anybody want to do a private popslash remix with me?
