Quixotic Evil

More ugly retcon

2007-11-27

I realise probably nobody notices, but I've found a new continuity bug that I'm about to fix: If CPO Edgeman trained with the USMC, how likely is it he subsequently joined the Royal Navy? Not very... The quick fix is to make him US Navy; a later draft might make Gunnery Sergeant Boss English but that would need me to redo the marine training location research.

I don't know if you can really call it retconning when it's not finished yet so I wouldn't worry about it.

If that's the case then I've retconned my entire story in one fell swoop as I've changed (or am about to change) nearly everything about the backstory.

I'm calling it retconning because I'm changing material already published. It's also to do with the mindset of having committed not to change things once they're posted.
I'm not too bothered: secondary objectives and all that...

Well done. Just 5000 words left, and 3 days to do it in.

You can do it, Charlie Moon!
