Trivia

It's been too long since we posted so I thought I'd enlighten everyone with a dose of BIGLY trivia, straight from the mind of Shannon at about 11PM when she should have been sleeping.

• Lauren's name "Lauren Sarah" was taken from Shannon's little sister, Lauryn Sarah. Incidentally, Shannon, when she was five, decided on her little sister's middle name.
• Lauren's last name was based on a friend's last name "McMurray". She went on to create some of the first BIGLY posters, ones we still love and use today :D
• The names Murray and Gilmore come from the same Irish name; Mac Giolla Mhuire. Alexis Bledel is most famous for her role as Rory Gilmore on "Gilmore Girls".
• Emmy Roser's name was inspired by the actress Emmy Rossum. Emmy shares her middle name, Jayne, with Robyn. However it was finalised because "Emily Jayne" sounds nice when said aloud.
• In Asylum, Sam's POV is only used once; when he goes crazy. This was to maximise the impact of the scene... But mainly because Shannon hates writing Sam's POV.
• In Asylum, Shannon left out Kat and Gavin because she's lazy, and she decided they weren't pivotal to the plot.
• Robyn owns a heart shaped necklace exactly like Emmy's described as having. Her friends made it for her birthday after she spent a few days lusting for the necklace she imagined.
• Emmy's fiancee Seth's last name, "Ivle", is an anagram of "evil". Seth itself can also be traced to the egyptian God, Set, who was the Egyptian God of destruction and chaos.
• The first actress to portray Lillith in Season 3 played a young Zooey Deschanel in Tinman. The girl who plays Missy in The Benders was also in Tinman.
• The episode "Wendigo" was originally going to be ignored due to Lauren's absence, but we liked the story so much that we just shunted it to later in the season.
• Even though it's Robyn's least favorite episode, she wrote Route 666 first. Shannon's first chapter was Skin.
• The only time in the fic the third person perspective isn't used is during Sam's visions.

I think I'm gonna leave this one open for us to add to as time goes on :)
(Go on Robyn, think of random trivia you have about the fic that I've left out :D)
