Retcon, Retcon everywhere!

I just started rereading chapter 61 of Too Much Love and I'm definitely in the deep grass of continuity errors now. I started writing about Nick's Hamilton party in November, 2019, introduced a ton of new characters, then went on hiatus just before the pandemic became big news IRL. When I came back, I tried to restart while only skimming the previous few chapters and knew that if I started by updating the continuity guide, I might not ever get back to the story.

As a result, there are some hysterically bad continuity errors. Lara Laird's husband starts out as Carl, becomes Harry, and eventually settles on George within the span of a couple of chapters. Part of this was because I'd written the introduction of the Ramshackle Stones independently and created another Carl who was very different. Part of this was because I tried to fix the name collision, forgot I'd done that, and fixed it a second time.

Every chapter from 57-60 has some fixes waiting to be published and the chapter where I decide Kaius's name is actually Caius has dozens.

On the plus side, I do have fourteen pages of notes about what's supposed to happen in this story before it ends. I should be able to wrap it up in another 700 pages or so. :smirk:
