2.I've learned from my own experiences on Fanfiction.net that most writers are either too lazy, busy, and/or impatient to make minor edits on every instance of an ongoing story for such an insignificant aspect of the story. So, they don't bother changing it and go on a rant in their author's notes about how stupid it would be for them to do so. 1-And that's how it should be. The presence of Mary Sue Traits do not make a Mary Sue by themselves.

Which is why an OC should not be rejected on the spot just because it happens to be a Maiden or a Silver-Eyed Warrior. (It should be rejected if it is a Grimm-person though). See the character first, then decide.

2-They could always do the simple thing: Edit the very first chapter so that, at the very top, readers see:

"Hello everybody. SO, I started writing this piece of textual shit in 20XX. Back when, we didn't know much about Faunus, so there was nothing saying that I could not make a Faunus turn into an animal. But NOW, Y years later, we found out that they can't.

Since I've been writing this for years, going back and editing every single chapter to correct this "mistake" would be too troublesome, so I decided to just warn you ahead instead. If you are confused by the idea of Faunus turning into animals, remember: It was written before we were told, so no one knew.

Okay, that is all, happy reading".

Or something like that.
