The boss walks in, there's someone on the phone for you:

Phone: "Hi, I'm the leader person behind that book/television/film franchise you complain about online and gee-whiz, you're right! We want you to run things from here on out."
You: "Do I get supreme retcon powers?"
Phone: "Of course! We'll even retroactively edit in your changes!"

Huh, that was easy. What are you changing?

Delete everything that happened in the Battletech lore for where the last civil war book ended. Then keep writing the civil war timeline so it's actually finished instead of where it's been left.

I have most of Dark Age on my shelf but I've barely read it.
