Two stories are currently being rewritten due to some... [[{{Narm}} unfortunate story-telling decisions]]. ''Starlight'''s second version, titled ''Lilo & Stitch's [[LamePun Star Trek]]'', is currently over sixty chapters long, having been started in 2006--as a result, there is a stark difference between its earliest and latest chapters; a third version is currently being written. ''A Trip To Japan'' is around the same age, but [[ScheduleSlip hasn't been updated as much]], and thus the difference in writing style is even more dramatic. In both cases, the previous versions are still being updated, in order to provide a baseline for the rewrites to work off of.
