Special Interlude – Trivia

In which you learn facts that you didn't know (or, quite possibly, cared) about the stories.

S01E01 – The Pilot in the Series

I chose the Bones fandom because I was enraged that they'd killed Vincent.

I originally intended to open and close every story with a quotation about writing.

I also intended for Booth and Zack to get together sometime around the eighth episode but got them together in the pilot because writing pre-slash is very difficult.

I noticed a continuity error while writing this episode: in the Pilot, Zack says that he's not a virgin ("I'm not a virgin. Nowhere near, in fact.") but then on the third episode he's asking Angela about how to have sex. Huh. How did they miss this?

At first it was a coincidence but when I noticed that I finished most of the chapters with someone saying something, I started to make it an 'official' part of my fics.

The Patterns in the Morning

I didn't really mean to do song-fics in-between the episodes it's just that I was addicted to this band ever since I heard 'I Know What I Am' in the pilot for Lost Girl. Great series by the way, I recommend you checking it out if you haven't already.

I completely forgot about Samuel Carter's visit. So in my mind I believe that he came, stayed for a couple of days in the apartment above the garage. And Zack didn't tell him about Booth.

S01E02 – The Man in the SUV

The fact that Zack minored in literature just popped up while I was writing and I thought 'Why not?'

I hadn't really pegged Zack as a BAMF but I didn't think he would just stay at the lab and do nothing, so I flipped a coin. BAMF won.

The Friends in the Park

I didn't like the song id picked but went with it anyway because I love the band.

This cemented the tradition of song-fics in this series.

S01E03 – A Boy in a Tree

I had the scene of Angela finding out about them in my mind ever since I started to write S01E02.

In my first draft for the third chapter, Doctor Goodman and Director Cullen weren't together. But then I went to sleep and when I woke up I had this feeling that I should get them together.

All of the thoughts that involve hitting some minor character are my wishes. (You know when you're watching the TV and get that urge to bitch slap someone).

In chapter 5, when Zack says he hoped she'd forgotten the deal by now, it's an inside joke. Because I actually forgot about that deal.

The song I had originally chosen for Zack and Booth to dance was Toby Keith's 'You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This'.

First Interlude – Families

When I wrote this I noticed that we know nothing about Hodgins' family or about Angela's mother. I wonder why.

Zack's family never got names.

(Oh well, now they do.)

The First Dates in the Relationships

I had no idea where Hodgins could take Angela out on their date so I listened to the music and made the places match some parts of the lyrics. Yay for poetic license!

I would have written about Zack making pancakes with more details if I had actually ever eaten pancakes. I have no idea what they taste like much less how they're made.

S01E04 – The Man in the Bear

I developed a headache trying to figure out a way to make Zack go to Washington State. Then I thought about Vincent and Wendell and all was well.

Whenever I need to find some facts for Vincent to say I google 'Obscure facts about' and the subject. In this story the subjects were 'Washington State', 'Silver', 'Pigs', Bears' and 'Photography'.

Brennan and Charlie got together because of a suggestion made by Fern Rose. (All of you can pitch in some ideas too, it's nice.)

The Meetings in the Eateries

I had to go to Merriam-Webster's website just to find a word that could mean diner, bar and restaurant at the same time.

I actually wrote the third chapter before the second.

S01E05 – A Boy in a Bush

When I was writing I noticed that the dead kid's name is also the name for a character in CSI. The kid was Charles Gregory Sanders. The CSI character (my favorite, by the way) is Gregory Sanders.

The joke about the lab not being CSI: Washington was adapted from episode 05 season 02 of 'Rizzoli & Isles', 'Don't Hate the Player'. Also a great show.

I forgot to make Zack tell Angela that Hodgins knows that she loves him.

I have no idea what happened to Brennan's grandfather. She only mentioned him this one time.

The Families in the Day Off

I've read 'Matilda' exactly three times; I was like Noah with 'Through the Looking-Glass'. Which is probably why you can find it in almost all my works.

Timerip I – The Wedding in the Future

I didn't plan this. The plot bunny just wouldn't leave me alone.
