Trivia / Facing the Future Series

• Development Hell: More than once, the author has had a frustrating time getting a story out.
• Hypothetical Cast: The author has stated that if his series was ever made canon, these would be the voice actors for the Original Characters in the series:
  • Future Sam - Nicole Sheridan
  • "G" - Mark Harmon
• Official Fan-Submitted Content: The author is willing to accept ideas from the readers. Many of the ideas he's used were suggested by the creator of this page. Fortunately, the author knows to avert Too Many Cooks Spoil the Soup.
• Promoted Fanboy: Invoked with many readers saying that the author should write for the actual show if it's ever revived. Yeah, he's that good.
• Schedule Slip: Despite the author's best efforts (or perhaps because of the sheer ambition of the project), new episodes have become slower and slower to come out over the years. From 4 a year, to 3 a year, to once a year, and now there's a big gap in the output altogether, with the gap between "Two for One" to "Overheated" being six years.
• Sleeper Hit: When Facing the Future first came out, everybody thought Aaron12 was just another small-time fanfic writer who had a clever premise. Now, he's become one of the most popular DP fanfic writers and fanartists out there, with his popularity growing with each story and pic he publishes.
• Shrug of God:
  • When asked if the vegetarian attendees at the Bi-Dietary Barbecue at the beginning "Ancient History" were the same ones from Sam's protest rally in "Mystery Meat", Aaron12 admitted that it would make for a great Easter Egg.
  • Despite not having his stories being in seasons, after many readers commented that "Two For One" had a Season Finale feel to it, Aaron12 decided to just go with it, even saying that the following story "Overheated" would be the start of an unofficial season five.
