It took four months to realize I made a minor(kind of important) mistake.

My Awakening story has can up since October, and only recently did I realize that I misdated one of the dates in the story. Which might've made the story confusing, I think. It's fixed now.

Anyone else make a similar mistake before?

I just did that on another site. I had someone using an Apple PowerBook in 1987, and then a reader informed me that those weren't introduced until 1991. They move fast there however, and they've already posted the new version.

On Lit, I have a story that I posted in the wrong category last Friday. The corrected version is pending at the moment. The score was really low because I probably confused the hell out of the readers.

Those kinds of errors happen all the time... easy to miss.

I had a story published for around a year... got lots of views, votes, favorites... then a reader pointed out the name of a character changed about halfway through (I'd changed the character's name in one of the many drafts). My fault for not catching it before publishing, but yeesh, you'd think a reader might have said something before a year went by!

Or maybe they'd just been skimming the story for the sex scenes. It was pretty steamy

I messed up a gym rota in Oxygen Games, Saturday for a Sunday. Only just caught it before publishing. I know... a white-knuckle adrenaline rush, eh...?

These discrepancies happen in almost every story of mine. Some of them the readers hadn't caught yet hehe.
Alot of these errors actually come from editing, ironically.

I don't make mistakes. I purposely insert little "Easter Egg" goofs to make plagiarizing or stealing my work easier to spot.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

In one of my weight-gain stories I got the weight wrong.

I wonder if a software with a timeline feature would help to catch date errors.

I had finished and edited my story, when I found the time line was all wrong. The heroine's mother must have been 13 when the heroine was born, the heroine 14. I had to hurrieedly redraft to make the birth times suitable for lit (over 18 but below 21 - the dates allowable with parental consent in the UK at that tme - which they didn't have).
