Twenty Years: Random Thoughts

This is a hidden page, which contains a list of twenty Trixie-related random thoughts as a bonus item for my twenty year celebration.

1. There are quite a few other hidden pages on my site. The idea of hiding things and never mentioning them amused me.
2. I wrote the resolution to Dan and Honey’s story arc in The Long Way Home quite a while back. I wonder, now, whether it will ever be posted.
3. Another may-never-be-posted finished story is called Life on Memory Lane. It shares a major plot device with Looking for Lily, but they have different resolutions.
4. I sometimes wish I could redesign my whole web site.
5. There really should have been an abandoned amusement park in Dark Places. I may yet write it.
6. I wish someone would write the perfect Trixie mystery that I want to read, but am not capable of writing. Then, I wish they would write another one, and another. :D
7. Random plot bunny: Brian’s wife (who is not a Bob-White) stages her own disappearance, leaving him to look after their baby and ultimately be accused of his wife’s murder. It’s up to Trixie to find out where she’s hiding in order to clear her brother’s name.
8. I actually quite like Trixie and Dan as a couple, or Trixie and Regan. I just can’t do that to Jim.
9. By far my least favourite story I’ve posted is Waiting For You. It’s bland and uninteresting.
10. There are lots of things I’ve written that are worse than Waiting for You, for a variety of reasons, but I won’t be posting them. :D
11. Brian and Diana make an interesting couple. I wish I’d thought of them together earlier.
12. I’d like to know Mrs. Vanderpoel’s back-story.
13. My head-canon is that Andrew Belden is the youngest brother and Harold the oldest. I think there’s a bigger age gap between Peter and Andrew than between Harold and Peter.
14. There’s probably lots of interesting things hidden in the Preserve and at the bottom of the lake.
15. Mr. Lytell probably has secrets, too.
16. In Reality Displaced, there are other effects from the events which altered reality than those that the Bob-Whites have noticed.
17. I started writing because of my inability to accept other people’s unhappy endings for Bob-Whites. I have, however, written a couple myself (though not in any continuing universe).
18. I wrote my debut story, Do You Remember When… as a bit of an afterthought, when I realised that I needed a story that met the criteria of a challenge and didn’t have one ready. The timeline only went so far, so teaser events in that story tend toward the beginning of that universe.
19. Another piece of my head-canon is that there is only one Aunt Alicia, that she is Helen’s sister and the later reference to her being Peter’s sister is a KK mistake.
20. And lastly, a hope for the future: that, no matter how many times I think there are no more ideas, there will always be another mystery, another future, another past, another story about the Bob-Whites, for as long as I am around to enjoy them.

Phew! That was harder than expected.
