But let me wrench you back in time again. The revision log shows the first editor to have been the one purporting simply to “add some dynamism to the story” and excise “Angela Carter” because “characters and situations were, to my taste, excessively serious for lovebirds”.
But there is a secret about the editing history of Open Sauce, previously known only to its creator and collaborators: there was an edit that came before all other edits, but something that was alleged to be a technical glitch erased it from the record, returning the revision history to the Mills and Boon mosaic as though nothing had happened. What filthy unspeakable ideas populated the paragraphs of this erased rewriting? Who was its author? Did she make any copy to save her work from oblivion?
Well, I can reveal to you today: it was me. The first edit of Open Sauce, which perhaps no one else but Open Sauce’s progenitor Nor ever read, is indeed ... forever lost. Like the last editor on record, my writerly self, the first to be touching the virgin pastures of Radical X’s baseline wiki, can only suppose “I will never do it again”.
