A Context For These Errata

One evening, I was talking with Brass Bulldog. We were joking around, I don’t remember the exact conversation, but doing a goofy character voice, I said something to the effect of, “Recant for me the tale of the robot and the dog.” Something like that. And he said, “Recant?” Indeed, recant! A real ten dollar word, not the kind of word you get to know about without cracking open a book or two. Smartly, I explained to Brass that recant meant “to tell a story.” He said it did not mean that at all. After looking it up, I found out that, oh, big whoopsie-doopsie, indeed, “Recant” means just about the opposite of what I thought it did: Recant does not mean to tell a story, but rather, to take something back, to state that you have changed your stance on something.

Well, bugger. Immediately, I thought about how that’s definitely a word I’ve used in my stories, and it’s come across the editing desk for the Zooey Dot Pub magazine as well. I did a search while we were there on the call, and Brass and I had a giggle about some of the ways that “recant” accidentally still works in a scene, or the ways that “recant” accidentally makes a character say the complete opposite of what I was going for. “Recant” specifically, in To Thine Own Self Be Zoo, turns out to only show up in the novelization of Romeo & Juliet. Overall, this mistake isn’t something that would ruin that story, but it is something that I would wish to correct.

There are other mistakes here and there as well, that have, as I write this, stood free from correction. One typo comes to mind in Cheer’s Journey, just an incorrect word, where it’s obvious what the intended word was, but it does make the reader have to double back over the sentence to figure that out, and potentially really takes the reader out of the moment. Another item that would warrant correcting is that I fully believed with the pronoun one, as in, “One would like to eat ice cream if one were able,” it did not need an apostrophe to make it possess something, because it is a pronoun: to me, from his, hers, ours, yours, its, and theirs, ones followed: “Ones favorite flavor of ice cream is a matter of ones own valid personal opinion.” I could swear I even researched it pretty thoroughly before arriving at that. But, whatever misfire happened in my thinking there, it turns out that ones is incorrect too: the word does get an apostrophe, and the correct version would be, “One’s favorite flavor of ice cream is a matter of one’s own valid personal opinion.” This “ones” thing didn’t bother me as much as recant, I think because it’s a more technical detail, something that someone frequently engaged in reading is likely used to glossing over and assuming that it’s some difference in regional spelling or something like that. It’s also not an error that interrupts the narrator’s voice, if you imagine it being read out loud.

So, known errors have stood before. But it was—maybe fittingly—recant that made me decide they should be corrected in some fashion.

Besides these errors which have stood, there have also been errors that have been corrected silently after publication, or technical items that have been revamped. I have a vague memory of correcting one or two typos here or there, though as I write this now, I cannot remember what they would have been. Maybe all of them as minor as changing a straight upright apostrophe to a slanted apostrophe, but maybe a spelling correction or two has happened as well. There have also been technical aspects of the website that have been silently changed, for example, many stories at one time made use of style attributes in HTML to style text such as centering it or underlining something: in all instances, these have been replaced with standalone HTML elements such as center and u, as a personal preference. Usually with that, it is invisible to the reader that such a change has ever been made, except in rare cases where something is foregone because there is no standalone HTML element equivalent, such as losing the small caps from the headings in Romeo & Juliet.

So, some errors have stood, while other items have been changed. Why is that? Mainly, there is one reason. I have an aversion to muddling the record when it comes to things people may have had some emotional experience with. If I put out a story that used the word recant incorrectly 4 different times, maybe someone had already read that, has some memory of that word, and then goes back to check and it now says recite or recount. I don’t want them to feel gaslit over that. So far, all 12 issues of To Thine Own Self Be Zoo are released into the public domain—this is not made overly obvious, but there is a note in each issue’s PDF making it so. I think, with these being in the public domain, it’s unlikely to ever matter in a legal sense if there was a typo in a story released in June that was corrected in December, but in case it ever does become relevant, to law, to history, or to personal experiences, I want the record to be clear. I wish I had kept one from the start, but, short of doing a lot of careful digging through old files, the best I can do is to begin here, December 1st of 2023, at the completion of Volume I. Nothing too much will have been missed in the preceding time, and maybe there is some fun in leaving still that spice of primordial pre-record mystery to those who would care that much for utter completeness.

As a policy on errata, my intent is nearly only to correct technical errors on the spelling and punctuation level. My intent is not, for example, to go back in and rewrite the ending of a particular story that I realized afterwards could have been something else if the characters had done this instead of that. My intent is also not perfection: though this project does follow a style guide, it does not endeavor to do so robotically, and many commas may go or not go where another editor would prescribe, sentences may run on, characters and voicey narrators may use grammatical constructions that are not “good English,” and things of that nature. Even logical errors, “plot holes” or anachronisms, I think are usually more fun to let stand, and to let the reader imagine how the author is correct and how this seeming “plot hole” has come to actually be the case in the story, rather than pointing out how it is incorrect and assuming an impossible-to-reconcile meta flaw in the story—I do promise this is not just my opinion as an author, but also something that I do as a reader. I do not even intend to correct style choices that I would endeavor to make differently now, such as if an animal was called “it” instead of “they” even by a character who is deeply empathetic and mindful towards animals. Tidying up language around pronouns may be fair game in some circumstances, such as if a typo leads to misgendering a character unintentionally, but “it” used carelessly can be a mark of an earlier author who was not yet used to writing from a stance of zoophilia so openly. Primarily, the only goal here is to correct things that are objectively language-level errors that create a potential stumbling block to the reading experience, correcting “ones” to “one’s” and “recant” to “recount,” things of that nature.

And, to make the record, at least from here forward, there will be this page. Errors and corrections that are described here have been corrected where they appear in the stories. I will also include odds and ends of other kinds of changes—screenshots of old designs of the site and things of that sort.

Allow me to recant these errors.

Homepage text during Volume I:

Welcome! This is the homepage for To Thine Own Self Be Zoo, a zoosexual literary endeavor with works distributed online and possibly occasionally on tape to a random library shelf near you. These stories and poems work to explore the theme of animal empathy and the transcendent love it entails~

New issues are currently being released on the 1st of each month. The podcast feed operates on a freeform schedule, and will have episodes released as they are finished.

For other zoo endeavors, check out Zooier Than Thou for great zoo sketches and discussions, Zooey Magazine to find out why being a dog is kinda zoophilic, and Zoo & Me to hear zoo voices talk about advancing the zoo agenda.

Website design when the project first launched:

December 21st, 2023: Issue α

When uploading the December issue of Volume 1, I updated the text on the homepage, so that instead of saying new issues would be released on the first of each month, it instead said that issues would be released on solstices and equinoxes. The idea was that this was the plan for 2024: Volume 2 would be made of 4 issues, instead of 12. However, I missed that after December 1st, when I updated that text, there was still technically a solstice to occur in 2023, on December 21st. Well, I promised new issues were being released on solstices and equinoxes now, and I thought it would be fun to quickly put together a bonus issue in light of that oversight, and so, that's what Issue α is, a supplemental issue to Volume 1, released on December 21st, 2023, the winter solstice.

March 19th, 2024: Spring Equinox

AWOOOOOOoooowowowow. To coincide with the release of this issue, I made epubs available as a format, they are located in the "Files and Formats" link under the "bonus materials" heading. I also cleaned up a few stray formatting errors that were found in the process of making those, reflected in the errata table above, and updated the footer from "Most within Volume I written by Eggshell Ghosthearth." to "Most within To Thine Own Self Be Zoo written by Eggshell Ghosthearth."

September 12th, 2024: a litte before the Autumn Equinox

According to seasons.pdf from the U.S. Naval Observatory, Astronomical Applications Department, the date of the 2024 Autumnal Equinox is September 22nd. I will be away from the internet on that date, so I am releasing this issue a little early.

Some fun errata in this one: Brass Bulldog made me aware that "wreaks" is the incorrect word for when something is really smelly; it should actually be "reeks." It hasn't come up too often, but I didn't know that at all before, and so it has been corrected in Sister Shim and the Priestess Om and in Five of Cups Covers Ten of Swords. A couple of randomly spotted typo fixes other than that. Awoooowowowowow.

December 21st, 2024: Winter Solstice

Wishing everyone well this Yule.

A little fix going out today: Volume 2 Issue β was listed correctly as Volume 2 Issue β in some places, but listed incorrectly as Volume 1 Issue β in a smaller number of places. Easy to fix, but that error slipped right by me until pretty recently when I was screenshotting something about the website to show to a beloved non-zoo friend, and I was like, Oh, that's not right. The release from May 8th, 2024 is and always was intended to be a supplement to Volume 2, not any kind of late out-of-sequence addition to Volume 1.

Another small update is that the podcast feed also has a stylesheet now, I added it a bit ago between the previous issue going up and this one.

That's a wrap on Volume 2! I remember how bare the website looked when all it had was Issue 1 of Volume 1, and I'm really happy with how much it's filled up with different stories and poems and various odds and ends and stuff.

June 20th, 2025: Summer Solstice

The air is hot and muggy and I love it. I am the dog gladly panting in God's hot car.

Quite a lot of updates to the site going out alongside the release of this issue. These last few months I've been buried up to my cute ass collar in python scripts and technical standards documentation reading, making a new bot: Satastris, it/he pronouns, likeness of a red demon AFABBBFM—Assigned Female At Being Beheld By Foolish Mortals. With his help, I am rolling out some new features to the website that would've been asking too much of my previous scripts, and definitely would be too much overhead to maintain manually.

Everything should basically look the same as it did before, but with a few more options and with a few clean-ups.

Additions are: RSS feeds being made available, more granular options for documents, a dark mode for the website, and some new copy added to the homepage.

Revisions are: A lot of typo cleanup (seriously the size of the errata table above has more than doubled, apologies if any mistakes in there had bothered anyone), and also in the HTML I've moved to more often using HTML entities as a preference over putting non-ascii Unicode regions in the source (this difference doesn't change anything about how the website actually appears, all of the same umlauts and Greek letters will still be there, it's just making things fit better with my personal preferences under the hood; Unicode also hasn't gone away entirely, in fact it's still on this very page).

I thought about writing a whole Zooey Dot Pub article about what I learned about Rich Text while working with Satastris; It's more than you would think there would be to know about it; I could go on. But, no, for now, adieu.

March 20th, 2026: Spring Equinox

Did everyone else know you can ask a lot of word processors to spell check for typos and stuff? The computer age is upon us. Doubling the errata table again? Doubling the errata table again. Spring cleaning? Spring cleaning.
