#but im struggling to find a clear answer on wether she has chronic pain

If you could go back and make one change to any of your fics, would you? And if so, what would the change be?

i do actually go back and change things in fics occasionally - both bugebroph being bilingual and netherborne lydia having ongoing health concerns were retcons. if i havent yet reached a point where it should have already been directly adressed, ill add things like that to the plan and then edit mentions of it into previous chapters. to take netherborne for example - when i realised that given her backstory she really shouldnt be entirely healthy it made sense that it hadnt come up in a substantial way yet because she hadnt been exposed to any obvious causes of infection, shed never seen a real doctor, and shed been on painkillers for a different issue for most of the fic. i was able to add the exploration of that concept to the plan for a future chapter, but then went back and edited in some smaller mentions of her joint pain in previous chapters so it didnt come out of nowhere when i got to the explaination.

i only really like to do that to ongoing fics tho, and add an authors note to the next chapter i publish afterwards noting the changes for any returning readers. once ive finished a fic (on the rare occasion that i do) i tend to leave it alone save for fixing any typos i notice.

so to alter the question slightly to if i would change anything in any of my finished works - im kinda unsatisfied with the last lines of blood in the birdbath. i think i was so excited about actually getting to the end that i didnt take the time to put enough thought into the closing lines. but i dont want to think up what i could change them to, because then it'd just bug me even more.
