Chapter 38: Questions, Answers, and Author's commentary

I hope you have enjoyed the Dimensional Trilogy. This series of stories took almost a year to make and for those of you who were there when "Interdimensional Relapse" began, this is probably the saddest moment of your time on this series of crossovers. I too knew that it would come to an end, so I made Dimension Merging the best I could with its villains, its story, its comedy, and its memorable characters. Below are some questions some people ask throughout the books of how I came up with characters, the different worlds, and various other stuff. I hope these will answer some of your questions.

Q: Where did you get the names for your villains?
A: I get this a lot. Concolor, the first villain got his name from the scientific word "Felis concolor" which means "cougar". Allos got his name from a kind of dinosaur called "Allosaurus", which was the T-rex before T-rex was T-rex (Kind of a tongue-twister, huh?) Ryu got his name from the Japanese word for "Dragon" and his minions like Red Wyvern, Blue Firedrake, and Green Salamander all got their last names from different words for "Dragon". White Amphis' name is a shortened version of the word "Amphisbaena": A dragon with two heads on both ends of its body.

Q: Why did you choose the Chaotix Crew for the humor section of this story?
A: On the Sonic the hedgehog TV show, "Sonic X", Vector and his gang were always causing trouble wherever they went, so I decided that their antics would be good for a laugh or two. What? Bad idea?

Q: Will you make prequels or any more sequels to the Dimensional Trilogy?
A: I don't plan on making prequels, seeing as you know the history of most of these game characters pretty well. And I'm not making any more sequels, otherwise it wouldn't be called a "Trilogy". However, I was working on a kind of "Gag reel", but you'd have to read all three books before you understand them.

Q: Do you know most of these characters?
A: Of course I do! I've known Mario and Sonic for most of my life and Fox and Link are some of the best video game heroes I know! And of COURSE I know Concolor, Allos, Ryu, Teal, etc. I made them up myself!

Q: How did you get the word "Dragonoid"?
A: I got "Dragonoid" from two words. The first part is pretty obvious: "Dragon". I got the second part from the word "Humanoid" and I mixed these two words together for that word.

Q: Where did you get the Dragonoids' voracious behavior?
A: It all started when I watched the movie "Reign of Fire". I kinda combined the dragons on that movie with "Star Fox: Assault's" Aparoids, but increased their dangerous level tenfold to create this vicious species. Need I say more?

Q: Does this story have anything to do with "Sages' Swords"?
A: Two words: "N" and "O". If it was, Saria would be grown up and Link would probably tell of future tales. (I won't spoil it though)

Q: Why does Shadow have a crush on Zelda?
A: Read Interdimensional relapse and you'll know why.

Q: Why does Link marry Zelda and not Malon?
A: You again. I've told people this once and I'm not going to answer you again, I'm a ZeLinker and PROUD of it! And in IDR when Vector screws up with the hero and the farm girl, he'll explain my reason. Capiche? Capiche.

That's about all the questions I've received and I won't answer any more unless they pop into my head. After all this work, I'll see what I can do. Enjoy the other stories I wrote and those I will soon come to write.
