Yeah. Echoing others - excessive continuity for its own sake, especially when its obscure or a hell of a reach.

I clearly didn't outline it well enough.

On two occasions, I've had to completely rewrite a section as Developer, leaving nothing of the freelancers' submission remaining. I paid them anyway, because here's the thing - if a writer can't understand what I need from them even after the redline, that's *my* fault.

I will just say that I know for a fact they were on a "get rid of all inventory and move to pdf" binge at the time. Under normal circumstances, sure, but they weren't.

They also stopped doing physical comp copies around that time.

I once received comp copies of a book I didn't work on that had a similar title to one I did. Like an idiot, I gave them back the next convention I went to. I'm pretty sure they went in the garbage.

It is 2020. I have just started a new role in the organisation I eventually wound up in, after a year-long struggle to implement an overly-ambitious ePM.

It is 2025. I am reading an overly-ambitious implementation plan for an ePM to replace the 2020 one.

"Phase?" Unless 45 years is a phase...

It says something that my first thought here was "which one?"

As in, I can think of several.

Everyone's just gonna skip them when playing it anyway!
