Construction - detour

[jethrien]

I'm 32k+ words in, and I've hit the plot hole. There were a couple of them, many of which had filled themselves in before I got there. But this one...hasn't. Crap.

The problem can be explained by one of the following, depending on genre:

Magic. Nanomachines. Objectivist philosophy. A secret conspiracy. The golden ratio. Q. Q (the Bond one). The collective human unconsciousness.

Actually, I'm going with A.

Don't forget collective insanity. If you skate really fast over thin ice, you can usually get readers to not notice the ginormous plot hole. It works for Daffy Duck, it might work for you! :)

Can't you just call the Department of Public Works and have them fill it in? Or call AAA and have them help you change your tire? Oh wait, that'd be for a pothole not a plot hole. Never mind!

I think you should feel proud that you've only run into one!

Also--a wizard did it.

I carefully filled this one, and now have realized that I filled it with dirt from a brand new hole I've dug. D'oh.
