Chao- Some of us may have seen this either in a summary or a title: Redux, a story with either little or a lot of changes to an already published story. Redux involves hindsight. As we grow as writers, we return to our old work and catch mistakes and areas that could use improvements. Some of us may even cringe or laugh about our terrible stuff. We may rewrite over the old document, or we copy and paste our work into a new one and do some polishing. Isn't it fun to see some old work?
Question: What makes a Redux different from completing another draf?
Chao- Probably the fact that Redux is typically used for stories that have already been published. Chao has done one. Decided to do the Yu-Gi-Oh!! fan fic "Dreaming of You" since it is Chao's favorite. Looking back at the first publication, there were a lot of grammar mistakes. There was also a lack of description for settings. In the Redux, the villain is more fleshed out; it seems fair so that the heroes and readers can know why they are going up against. It was fun to do.
Important Note: "Multiple entries of the same material. There can only be one copy of any unique story on the entire site. No exceptions." (Rule on FF.net and FP.com, entries not allowed)
Chao- Users of FF.net and/or FP.com, take note of this rule; someone may report your story or it has been found by the FF.net or FP.com staff. You could post an updated version by deleting the old story, replace the chapters/documents with the updated version with author notes, or posting it on your blog. But maybe this rule may change some day; there are users who are multilingual, and they post their stories in two languages.
