Trivia / The Ultimate Evil

• Author's Saving Throw: In the original version of the 23rd chapter of The Ultimate Evil, David was violently attacked by Shendu for kissing Valerie and had to be sent to hospital. One of the things Shendu told Valerie afterwards was that one of the factors that led to Lo Mei's suicide was that he raped her before fighting the rebels and getting turned to stone. Disturbed by the negative reactions in regards both to Shendu and Valerie, the author later rewrote the chapter and removed the aforementioned aspects when the fic was nearly completed.
• What Could Have Been: Or rather, What Once Was. In the original released script of The Ultimate Evil, Shendu attacks David when he kisses Valerie and batters him so badly that he has to be sent to hospital. Shendu also reveals to Valerie that he raped Lo Mei before she committed suicide. Both of these details were later re-edited away near the completion of the fic because this was considered crossing the Moral Event Horizon.
