Literary term search: revising fictional history in a series

I'm fairly sure that, at some point in the past, I came across a term 
that defined the act of altering the history of books early in the 
series to accommodate changes in the later ones, i.e., in novel #1 
characters go on vacation in Bermuda and in novel #4 when that vacation 
is referred to, it took place in Florida instead, due to something which 
happens in novel #4 which necessitates the alteration (which any reader 
with the earlier novel can check on and find the discrepancy -- maybe 
later editions of the earlier novel are modified to take the changes 
into account, but that's not im****tant here).

Anyone know what that might be?

As long as I'm asking for terminology, I know there's a term for fantasy 
which is more or less thinly disguised regurgitation of a successful 
fantasy novelist's work, something like recycled ... um ... you guys 
will know what I mean. It was funny and while I have no use for it in 
conversation (sadly) I'd still love to know what it was.

Thanks.
