Dear readers,
I'm sorry to say that I've made a TERRIBLE mistake in the timeline of my story. Turns out the Yuri! On Ice series took place during the year of 2015 since its Grand Prix Final took place in Barcelona, Spain. So I had to quickly correct all of the dates and locations of the competitions for my entirety of chapter two!
Goddamnit...I feel so stupid sometimes for not researching a little more into the series. I knew that it was based on the real-life schedule of events in the figure skating season, but I was too stupid to dig a little deeper.
Correct me if I'm wrong. But in the beginning of episode 1, the Grand Prix Final where Yuri Katsuki landed in dead last, took place in Barcelona, Spain right? If that's true, then it would've been around December 2014. And Yuri fell again at the Japanese Figure Skating Championships around the end of December, which ruined his chances of being picked for the Worlds and Four Continents during the remainder of the 2014 season (which is during Jan-Mar 2015).
So, Yuri went back home around March 2015 and met Victor. They worked towards qualifying for the 2015 Grand Prix Series and Finals. I did my research and the 2015 Grand Prix Finals in real-life took place in Barcelona, just like in the final episodes of Yuri! On Ice.
I made sure that the year was most likely 2015 by looking at the location of the 2016 Grand Prix Finals, which took place in Marseille, France. (So it there's no way the series took place during the 2016 season...right?)
After making all of those checks and doing more research, I've changed the dates and location of the world championships in chapter two of my fanfic. If you guys see any potential errors in the future, please do inform me!
So I wouldn't have to go through another session of panicking, researching, and re-editing!
