Evolution of Alice:

Alice & Lewis Carroll

I'm a lifelong fan of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, so it's no surprise I might "borrow" a character for inspiration...even if only somewhat.

Matrix Direct

Not long after viewing The Matrix for the 4th time, I got to thinking about the sequels they're doing and all. Now I don't know what directions the Bothers are taking with this (obviously, since it ain't out yet and I have no inside info), but I thought that with all of the Alice in Wonderland/Looking-Glass Land references, there ought to at least be a major character named Alice. So I did what any fanboy/girl would do nowadays...I wrote a fanfic.

Now I haven't posted it anywhere and it's extremely sketchy (it's more like an outline anyway) but there was this concept I came up with that I thought was cool. Don't know if I'll ever post it anywhere cuz it needs major tweaking and it obviously won't fit in with the Matrix Trilogy once it's released.

Lurkerville

I started lurking in RASSM in the spring of 2001 and naturally I came across some Sith War posts. Now for the life of me I had *no freaking idea what the hell was going on* but I found the idea interesting, and being in possession of a very active imagination, began toying with ideas. My first idea was the modified DeLorean that would at-the-last-minute be named the Jump-DMC. I even spent a whole month doing layered drawings of the car/ship on my computer. Other ideas included the flying eyeballs and a variant of the Dimension Jumpers.

Trolling Tea Party

I've come to understand that many people on RASSM consider James W. King a troll. Now I don't wish to get caught up in what all the gist is about with that, but me being a Newbie in RASSM, I responded to a few of his posts. We mainly talked about Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. We also joked around regarding drawing treacle well and how Darth Maul is like a writing desk. So needless to say, the concept of Alice was recent in my mind when Sith War 8.1x re-re-broke out.

Evolution of the Jigglypuffs:

Eye Spy...

My first sidekick idea was a groups of about 12 flying eyeballs. I'd seen the visual in a NY subway grafitti book my Dad has (yeah don't ask) and thought it was cool. But for some reason I thought Pokémon were better. Besides Jigglypuffs are spherical so why not?

"Friends like Ewan you I've got to leave behind..."

Of the flying eyeballs, I only came up with 2 that had personalities. One was named Ewan and was a party dude; that concept pretty much stuck.

The other was Swearin' Sam; think Yosemite Sam and Samuel L. Jackson's mad mutha f#$%#er-type characters all rolled into one. Somehow I couldn't quite bring myself to write Sam's dialog as "*&#$&$@#^%*&#" all the time and there ain't NO way I'm gonna swear that much in one week much less one post so I gave that idea up.

I never could come up with anything else involving the flying eyeballs idea so I dropped it.     Hot ROddish will chauffer you for a day if you can tell me what the title of this note is in reference to. :-)

A Chorus Line

Before I made my first Sith War post, I spent some time coming up with some backstory for my characters. I like to have at least something to go on...in my original backstory, there are 3 additional Jigglypuffs: a trio of Jigglypuff gals who can imitate any female vocalist or group. I don't know if I'll ever use them or not.
