* The early chapters of ''Fanfic/FireEmblemThreeHousesFifthPath'' (particularly the original prologue and the first chapter) tried to focus more on rapid fire comedy with a higher joke to plot count than later where the jokes, while still common, largely took a back seat to the plot, possibly due to a lot of the humor being moved to the Supports.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/PrincessCelestiaIsInYourBed'': In the first story, the narrator has NoNameGiven and writes, "[[OriginalCharacter OC]]" on his fanta bottle. Sequels would give him the name Steve, and would have him [[ThisIsReality unaware of his fictionality, stating that this was not a story]].

*** Ditto for AlternateReality episodes, several of which were homages to ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episodes. Nowadays, they had been replaced in favor of apocalyptic episodes.

* Creator/AAPessimal's ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' is noticeably different in the earliest stories: these tend to focus on the fantastical elements of the Discworld much as Creator/TerryPratchett envisioned it in the earliest books of the series. The first appearance of the core cast of Lady Assassins, developments of one-line placeholder names, show people who later ended up being RetConned into more rounded developed people. Emmanuelle lesDeux-Epées, for instance, has a more militant feminist streak which later on is quietly discarded; Alice Band has more of a social conscience and less hard sharp edges; and Johanna Smith-Rhodes is an all-out nearly unlovable AmoralAfrikaner with some seriously unreformed ideas about black people. [[note]]Later tales have her mellowing and growing up and expressing real doubts about UsefulNotes/TheApartheidEra. Emmanuelle becomes more amorally cynical and Alice, while still fundmanentally decent and principled, becomes even more of a SnarkKnight[[/note]]. his "Russian" witches, [[BikerBabe Olga and Irena]], first appear attempting to speak Morporkian with excruciatingly bad Russian accents - this too was dropped; indeed, the original conception of Irena Politek was that she wasn't even Russian and would reflect a different sort of Slavonic - she was originally intended to be a Discworld "Czech" so that the traditional needle between Czechoslovakian and Russian could be worked in. The only survival of that is a vaguely Czech-sounding name - later stories had her being as "Russian" as Olga, and, indeed, coming from the same region but from the opposite end of the social scale.

* The description of the first ''Fanfic/{{Daemorphing}}'' entry, ''Make a Little Birdhouse in Your Soul'', says that the Animorphs can't reveal their last names, and it's implied that their daemons go by pseudonyms. Later fics ignore this, and the Animorphs' surnames are frequently mentioned even before the Yeerks figure out who they are.

Add With This Ring

Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/WithThisRing'': When the protagonist first arrives on Earth 16 and buys himself a change of clothes, he tries to tell the ring to designate them as a uniform, but it replies that that can only be done while wearing them. This restriction never appears again, as he freely moves things in and out of a subspace pocket, including making clothes appear on himself or other people, at will.

* ''Webcomic/{{Springaling}}'':
** The first twenty or so comics consist entirely of one-off jokes and outtakes about the artist's self-contained comic about the third game, ''Requiem with a Birthday Cake''. Comic 22 marks the beginning of the first StoryArc and the introduction of elements from later ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' games.
** Springtrap's dialogue is provided via translations of the sounds he makes in the first few comics, and the translations persist when he's around the ghosts. Starting from the sixth comic, TranslationConvention is in effect and his dialogue is only presented as "breathy hissing followed by translation note" when a live human is in the building.

* ''Webcomic/{{Spooky}}'':
** Echo is drawn with visible limbs in the very first comic. He also gets defensive about and is reluctant to deal with "girly stuff", while later comics portray him as openly being InTouchWithHisFeminineSide.
** Komo is much less timid early on. He's also the comic's primary ButtMonkey, being on the receiving end of random misfortunes that in later strips would more likely happen to Tombstones.
** Tombstones isn't present in the first few comics, as he doesn't start freeloading with the other three until the end of the first Halloween arc.
** Early on, the cast's Petpets include a Candy Vampire, a Mutant Slorg, and a Baby Fireball. Claw's Ghost Magtile shows up in the first comic to specifically focus on the Petpets, but Echo's Carmariller is nowhere to be seen for a while.

* ''Fanfic/CheatingDeathThoseThatLived'': In Bear's chapter, Katniss claims that there are nineteen victors left besides her and Peeta, while chapter 74 makes it clear that it's actually nineteen victors ''including'' her and Peeta (plus one who is presumed dead but turns up alive). InUniverse this might be hand-waved by Katniss having misheard whoever told her about the surviving characters.
