Ugh. I haven't done half the writing I was hoping to the last couple of days, and I'm mildly pissed off about that. Partly letting myself get distracted, partly just general malaise of "second week blues" of Camp NaNo, but I am presently 7K behind on my word count of my original manuscript, and I have a fanfic to write with a deadline of Sunday. GRARGH.
I've only posted fanfic, and when I find continuity errors, I usually go and clean them up. It depends on the story, my estimate of the likelihood of someone spotting the error, and the effort that would be required to sort it out.
In a professional, published manuscript that has gone through the process, been published, and then you've discovered a continuity error, I imagine that the best you could do these days is put a note explanation on your author site. How the situation came about, and maybe a solution for your readers to justify that continuity error.
