Backstory and Unknown Facts

In Tracing Lines, Sabina-May has a scar on her left knee from when she totalled her first car at the age of seventeen. Her boss is engaged to her best friend.

In Still Living, Sinking, Falling, Twisting, Ed blames himself for his sister's death. He feels that, had he found the evidence he needed to put her killer away faster, he would have saved her, but in reality, he didn't find the evidence until after her death, and wouldn't ever have been able to save her.

Near the end of Bushels Of Bad Habits, Ceilidh and Dan end up in a relationship. They fear someone will find out, as dating other members of the team is against company policy, and keep it a secret.

In The House On The Hill, Sir Lloyd's son is called George and his daughter is called Bianca.

Bianca's bastard son is called Louis (she had him when she was 14 but was given up for adoption due to the morals of the time period) and he is deaf. When Bianca dies, when she is in her late thirties due to a heartattack, Louis inherits her old house, lives there for a few years, and then emigrates to Perth, Australia with his new wife Maggie.

George was arrested in 1947 for murder; his love interest, a burlesque dancer called Lucy, had been having an affair and he was angry when he found out. He stabbed her repeatedly with a knife and then went to the police to turn himself in.

Before he went crazy, Sir Lloyd worked as a banker, but he was good at construction, so he was able to build the house that all of the above people live in, including himself. His wife's name was Doreen.

In Extranormal, Jamal actually liked Chinaza years ago when he was twelve, she was thirteen. He said he would marry her one day and have a daughter and a son with her. Chinaza thought it was a joke, although it ends up happening. But that doesn't come out until much later (The sequel that has yet to be revived from my fucked up memory stick) after the the daughter is born, then they get married, and the son will never be born in the story, but she'll be pregnant with him... and I'm ruining a part of a story. But that's not the main part of the story.

Also Jamal's and Essences dad had a child before them with another woman, but the woman aborted the baby. That leads him to being nervous about the new news about Jamal's egg being fertilized (I don't know how else to put that). That, though, will never come out in the story.

In Tracing Lines, the two main characters are linked in more ways than one. Sabina is a variant of Sabine, which means of Italian culture (as far as I am lead to believe). Antonio is Italian. It isn't much of a link, but it's there.

Also, Sabina-May's father was Korean, but married an American. I don't actually ever think that ends up being said in the storyline, but I suppose I may slip it in.

In The Vampire's Mistress and The Vampire's War, Aglia loves Regulus, but he views her as a sister.

Also in The House On The Hill, the waitress that Dirk meets and likes in the 50s is still alive when the actual story takes place. She's over eighty years old and lives alone in a bungalow. Her name is Audrey. She is the only one who fears for Haley's safety because of how Dirk died. She senses the danger of living there.

Dirk's father died on June 6th 1944 in the Battle of Normandy. Dirk has never forgiven his mother for remarrying. 

in jungle cats and cartoon mice, before dallon became a teacher at the school brendon and ryan dated. brendon lost his virginity to ryan, and then a week later ryan told him that he had to move in with his dad in montana because his mum was moving in with her boyfriend.

Again, in The House On The Hill, Lloyd Cubbitt is an alcoholic and in the first point when the reader meets him, he is old, frail and cannot move well. However, earlier in his life, when he was a youth, he had many homosexual experiences, but because of the views of society at the time, he never dwelled on his feelings for men and eventually went on to marry a female.

All my original fiction stories take place in the same universe, even if it's at different time or era. There's little hints and conversations between characters that I've written up (a lot is unposted, but yeah) that show that.

In Come Out of the Shade, Torch refuses to answer to anything but Torch. She hates her given name with a passion (partly because she was named after her maternal grandmother who she can't stand, partly because it's just kind of embarrassing) so she's gone by Torch since she was old enough to make her own decisions about that kind of thing. I actually only wanted to call her Torch purely so I could make a cheap joke about her sex being on fire but I never got around to actually fitting it into the story. It still fits who she is, though. I changed Evie's name about six times before settling on Evie but Torch has always been Torch and I can't imagine her being called anything else. Especially Dorabella.

In Chasing Imagination, Casper is actually half Norwegian. When the Scandinavian governments started getting particularly strict on all their imagination regulation, a lot of the Dreamers and even the Marauders living there fled. Casper's dad fled to England, and that was when he met his future wife and they had a son.

In Hurricane, the character Sonja never actually wanted to be a Dreamer. Although she says that she joined the Dreamers when her parents died, what really happened was that her mum's dying wish was for the Dreamers to protect her, so when they set out to find her, she initially ran away from them and hid. She kept seeing them around to the point when it made her paranoid and schizophrenic, unable to control her imagination, and then she finally went to the police, who put her in an asylum/prison for six months.

In You Are, in Fact, My John Cusack, as I like to do with oneshots I left the details (particularly gender) of the main characters open to interpretation, but I personally see them as two girls. That doesn't make it the only interpretation though; I'd prefer it to be open and for readers to get what they want out of it/see whatever they see.

In chapter five of The Astor Hotel, Brian walks into a tavern to ask for directions and is dismissed by the bartender. Seconds later, he begins talking to a young woman named Beth who offers him help. As this happens, Brian notices the bartender giving him a strange look. Brian thinks he is looking at him strangely because he wants him to go away, when in fact the bartender is looking at him that way because he sees Brian as seemingly talking to himself all of a sudden.

This is because, unbeknownst to Brian, Beth is actually a ghost and she is manifesting himself for only him to see.

In Friend (not posted):

The full text of the "Neutron in a Bar" joke that Claire tells is:

"A neutron walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a drink. The bartender gives him the drink and says, 'For you, no charge.' Why?" (It's a lateral-thinking puzzle that Claire finds really, really funny for some reason.)

Claire tells the joke to Amanda first and then to Brian, who is Amanda's cousin. This is not referenced at all in the story but I felt the need to say that.

In Capitol:

Nova is twenty-four and Julian is seventeen.

The ray guns were initially manufactured for combat during the Dark Days by District 3. It was only after the war that the government of Panem sold the technology to BL/ind. and they began mass-producing them.

Nova's gun was her father's that she stole when she left with Julian, which makes it an antique and (as Party Poison says) very dangerous to shoot due to its age.

When Nova left the Capitol, she took a small backpack with her gun and holster, a few bottles of water, and a small plastic container of food. After she and Julian were apprehended by the Peacekeepers, all she got away with was her gun and one water bottle.

Nova has blonde hair and blue eyes. She is about 5' 5".

Zachary Atkinson of the Renny Boy series was in the marching band in high school. He was a percussionist. He's been a high school musician technically, so that's why he's so supportive of Soria.

Doug Tater of Bus actually does have somebody else in his family besides his sister and niece. The oldest member of the Tater clan is his uncle Paul, who lives in Ohio. He's widowed without any children. Although, he may appear later on in the story.

Also for Bus, when Doug was younger, he wanted to be a mechanic. He still does have a thing for cars and is pretty good at fixing them up. Also, he is pretty good at speaking Spanish (minus having a totally awful Spanish accent when speaking and mispronouncing words here and there) due to taking a class in high school for four years. When he moved to Yuma, he is thankful that he took it.

In Look At Me, Elle always planned on marrying Sammy. When she mentioned not being in a monogamous relationship with him, she'd been joking. She spent the first year hooking up, but not having sex, with a few guys - always when drunk. She started drinking to dull the pain it caused her to see Sammy going around with other girls instead of sticking with her. Then her pain turned into resentment and her dreams faded into nothing.

In Turning Point Patrick knew her name because he'd seen her earlier that month in a coffee shop. He hadn't had the courage to talk to her that day, but heard her name and told himself he'd say something next time he saw her...

In the Renny Boy series, all of the songs that Soria writes for Plaster Caster are actually songs that I wrote in junior high. It's more of a coincidence that most of them correspond to the circumstance in which she wrote them, like how "Alive" while I was away from home (and she was stuck in Santa Monica), and in "Don't Coast" how my life was becoming more and more chaotic (and Soria was watching Brendan slowly fall apart).
Also, when I wrote Plaster Caster as a band, I never really imagined their specific genre or sound. I guess it could just be one of those things that the reader can decide on their own.

In The Morning Afterlife, Bradley and Colin knew each other for a while before they got together. Bradley didn't want to ask Colin out because he knew how hung up he was over Eoin but after Colin and Eoin had their thing he thought he'd be safe. He sort of convinced himself everything was fine with him and Colin because of this, because he really really wanted it to be, but eventually he had to stop lying to them both and broke up with Colin. He moped for a week until Angel forced him out of the house to get food because he sort of ran out without noticing and he ended up meeting his future girlfriend at the supermarket. So things all work out kind of okay for him in the end, which is good because they don't for Colin and Eoin, not really.

In Light Sea Green, the two descriptions of the male character (whose name is actually Teddy; the girl's is Liza, though neither is revealed) are wrong. The first one, being Teddy in Liza's eyes, is an obviously exaggerated image of how incredible Teddy was; the second one is him in his eyes, right after a breakup. You can see the deal here. The thing about Teddy is that he's a genuinely nice guy, but he's also kind of naive, which makes it easy for him to do the wrong thing and not noticing he did something at all.
Being so, Teddy has a tendency to screw things up by being, well, naive - and having his head on the clouds. His girlfriend broke up with him because he forgot to cancel dates that he didn't show up to... several times. He did this because he was at work, actually; he explained it to her the night Liza saw him. His girlfriend was, in fact, planning on giving him a second chance. She was also the first girl he fell in love with.
