GUYS YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY READ THIS CHAPTER IT'S IMPORTANT.
So I recently looked over my older fics, and when I was doing that I realized something:
They're not very good.
You can disagree with me if you want, but if you read them when I first wrote them and go back and look at them now you'll probably realize that I'm right (I've found that stuff looks a lot better in my memory than while I'm rereading it, at least on this site).
So I'm going to do something about this! Namely, hardcore editing of all my stories. I've edited all of the oneshots and most of the shorter stories already, so now we're moving up to the big guns, which are the ones that need the most work to flow better. This is next on the list.
Also, I know some of you are probably wondering this, so I promise you that this will not interfere with me updating any of my in-progress fics. I've been working on the oneshots and shorter things for a good couple of months now without messing up update schedules. (Other reasons that I don't update will probably happen, though.)
BE WARNED:
Chapters will divide and combine and move around and be very different than they were last time this got read. I'll keep a running list of changes here so things don't get too confusing, but if you're not paying attention or you're reading this while I edit, you may get very confused.
In this case, actually, they will completely change order, and sometimes they'll get totally new plots (some of this is BAD). I'll try to warn you when that happens. There will be a lot of updating to make things canon with book nine.
Here's hoping it gets a lot better this time around,

And there's a mistake in here somewhere. A couple, actually. But you get the idea.
This author's note will be deleted once I finish editing, and the change log will be moved to the opening AN (which maybe people will read). The order change only matters if you're looking at reviews or trying to remember a specific chapter of the story and don't know which word it was but remember whereish it was.
