I was wondering whether you like the way lipreading is portrayed in fiction, or whether it's inaccurate. I've read several stories that present it like normal spoken dialogue, but mention that the d/Deaf character is looking at the other person and lipreading them. Are you happy with that portrayal or would you rather something different?
(Oh, and, just to give you a laugh, I once read something where a hearing character was speaking to a deaf one, but the deaf one couldn't read her lips because he wasn't looking, so she signed along with what she was saying. Even though he wasn't looking.)
