Hey, this is actually meant as a serious suggestion, not snarky! I have changed fic before for my own reading. Typos that annoy me (or the obnoxious cum!), just things that I didn't like. I might do a find and replace when a character's misspelled and it bugs me.

So I wonder whether it might be a way to get YOUR reading experience? I've seriously considered pulling podfics into audacity and just cutting out the music that annoys me. So, maybe you can do that with stories? If it's just a central scene or two...you could find them and just cut them for your own private use???
