Do you know if there's any compiled comparison of differences in the AFWVG book since publication? A lot of people talk about Emilie's experiences being more fictionalized after the first publication, and I've been wanting to know the differences. (I have the newest and the ebook version of the maybe 2011? version [IDK when the ebook was published], but I haven't done a systematic breakdown of edits besides noticing the massive omissions.)
SFLAG had one for the audiobook to one of the hardback editions that’s partially done, and I have one that I’ve started and haven’t posted as well that goes through all four editions, but what I think happened with both of us is that it’s a pretty massive undertaking that is fairly time consuming but one I’d like to get done some day because there are even cuts from the 1st to 2nd editions, but it’s always the audiobook that keeps me from doing the four edition comparison as it requires listening to all of it while keeping track of the other 3 books as well.
But it’s on the to do list, and high on there, it’s just a lot.
Girl, preach.
Here’s mine. It’s a massive undertaking, more than I had anticipated at the time, which is why it kind of tapered off. Maybe I’ll get back into it one day.
BTP, if you wanna do it, feel free to take what I’ve done so far (with credit) and mark at least a portion of your work as done.
As far as the differences? The first edition to the current edition of TAFWVG have the same underlying plot to share, but so many details have been changed or scrapped that they’re kind of different books. There is a .pdf of the second edition of the hardcover floating around somewhere, though.
