These are Trivia entries for Drunken Grognard's Grand Tour series.

  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The existence of the Top Gear (UK) special, now that Clarkson, Hammond, and May have a show called The Grand Tour.
  • Schedule Slip: The author was trying to get a chapter done each week. Most of Grand Tour managed this, with a few slips near the end, but Journey was a horrible example of schedule slip, with multiple weeks between chapters annoyingly common. Including over a month for the second last chapter - the one with the climactic fight. Averted with Odyssey, which made it without delays. Walkabout was off to a good start, but the author recently placed it on indefinite hiatus, citing real life complications and the desertion of his muse. After it resumed, it made the author's weekly schedule without delays.
  • What Could Have Been: The author revealed some of the ideas that were cut out of Odyssey. Akane learning of Ryoga's curse used to be a full scene before being regulated to backstory. Honor Harrington was slated to make an appearance as the leader of one of the fleets that confronted Thrawn's taskforce. Guts and other fantasy heroes were also slated to appear in the defense of Seyruun. However, it was probably for the better to leave that part out, as it went heavily into fanon mythology, and came across as annoying, whereas the rest of the story was perfectly fine.
