Trivia and background about my stories

I thought I'd come up with some trivia and backstory about the stories I have written:
  • As I've said from my introduction;  I do like all members of McFly and Busted but Danny Jones is my favourite McFly member (him being on Popstar to Operastar has won my heart and has helped me to come out fully and his three wins during 2024 has given me something to look back and smile while having a mentally rough year) while James Bourne is my favourite Busted member and Pones is my favourite McFly duo :D.
  • Whilst I am fine with their bond, Pludd (Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd) is my least favourite McFly duo due to how annoyingly popular they are and how I feel that they often steal the spotlight, so I tend to keep their interaction to a minimum or portray them as annoying (like how I find them as a duo XD). Also for Love Victor, I was displeased with Raihem and Nick being shoehorned into Victor and Benji's relationship, which is why I did not refer to them by name in favour of focusing on Victor and Benji, as expressed by Yusuke.
  • The Pokemon that the McBusted guys and Dominic have own are based on some of the Pokemon that I really like, rather than having any actual reason for picking those Pokemon for them (for most part) while giving them each of the region's representive Eeveelution, Psudeo Legendary (both groups of which I really like) and starter (while generally like the majority of them).
  • I'll admit that it started by using ChatGPT for my earlier stories, as told by a friend, wanting to see what it would come up with for fun, even though I have always been writing stories from my own imagination. I then considered publishing them for real, but making my own changes and input from the Chatgpt. The McFly and Busted Adventures, Legends of the Seven Harmonies and other stories onwards, however, were written by my own creativity. AI may be used to help alongside us or for fun, novelty purposes, but we should still use our own input while not using AI at the expense of others.
  • Additionally, the first story is based on three of my ChatGPT McBusted stories with McFly and Busted getting back together with Charlie Simpson, covering Celestial and in a polyamorous relationship.
  • It has been my dream for Charlie Simpson to join McFly alongside James Bourne and Matt Willis as the full McBusted group and assumingly, Busted vs McFly was revealed a couple of days later since I've started publishing the first few stories.
  • When it comes to writing the McBusted boys, I do try to keep their personalities closer to their real-life counterparts, with a few tweaks, including Danny Jones, who is funny and clumsy and is protrayed as a Himbo but is capable of being smart and wise (while still kind to others) and Harry Judd, with his competitiveness and how I find that he's the one who does a lot of talking during McFly interviews, getting his confidence after winning Stricky Comes Dancing (but still has some good intensions).
  • Dominic is based on my original character that I've come up with as someone who is gay, has some psychic powers and teamed up with the McFly and Busted boys for their adventures. My private stories with his backstory and personality are retained for my fan fiction.  
  • The Mega McBus is based on my Steam user name shortened when playing Trivia Tricks.
  • I've picked Norse Mythology-based names (and a few references  - either literal, subtle or metaphorical, e.g. the nine islands, the nine Hayden Christensen characters and the respective worlds bio-merged refers to the nine realms) for location names for McFly and Busted Adventures Legends of The Seven Harmonies as inspired by Fire Emblem Heroes for its world connecting theme.
  • McFly and Busted Adventures Legends of The Seven Harmonies had some inspiration from the Mother/Earthbond series, including the first Mother game/Earthbond beginnings, which I've played during the same year, where the characters have to find a special song and use PSI powers. The last two chapters had some references to the said series.
  • As I was coming up with a story to tie in with Busted Vs McFly, I was coming up with a way to make it special and had the idea of adding Hayden Christensen's characters as a fan of him and Anakin Skywalker while watching those respective movies of his the following year.
  • Melody's Pheogon form is based on the Manakete characters from the Fire Emblem series, coming up with a character that has a special kind of connection with Yggdrasil. I've picked Phoenix with its ability to sing.
  • While Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter (and others) are fans of Star Wars, I 'paired' Danny Jones and Anakin Skywalker for McFly and Busted Adventures Legends of the Seven Harmonies, as I find them both hot.
  • McFly and Busted Adventures Legends of The Seven Harmonies also has some influence from Pokémon Horizons (with characters having an association with what the characters are searching for and travelling on a ship), with shiny Rayqusza and shiny Zygarde referring to the series. Also, James Bourne's character arc mirrors one of the episodes.
  • The McBusted boy's character development, arc and conflict for McFly and Busted Adventures Legends of The Seven Harmonies has some influence from Digimon and Persona. Addtionally, Danny Jones' character arc mirrors Eirkia's character arc from Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones.
  • McBusted and Anakin Skywalker Dark Revelations have some inspiration from Fire Emblem Heroes book 3, while playing with the idea of what if the McBusted boys turned to the dark side. It was also based on what I have been feeling anxious and down with for the last two years, including with the election and campaign of the president that shall not be named (but I thankfully don't live in that country).
  • Also for McBusted and Anakin Skywalker Dark Revelations, I didn't orignally planned to include Pokémon until later on. I felt it would make sense since Dominic has mentioned them as part of his worries and development. The result, including them, was rewarding though. Addtionally, I would have used Xerneus and Yvetal as a power source for Anakin and Lord Dimegulia but I swapped them with tomes for more originality.
  • You may have easily guessed that the Star Lords are the alternative world McBusted Boys. It's about the build-up and foreshadowing that leads towards the reveal. 
  • The personas that I came up for the McBusted boys, David, Victor and Benji, are all original. I was trying to come up with a Persona that are assoicated with music for the McBusted boys while fitting with the rebellion theme for Persona 5. It was difficult until I came up with the idea to use a dual-user Persona for them. Similarly, there were only a few LGBTQ+ thieves in number until I stumbled upon the fictional series The Nightrunner, where the thieves are LGBTQ+ characters for me to give the names of Victor and Benji's Personas.
  • A few original characters have pun names in a similar style to Ace Attorney.
  • On the subject of Ace Attorney, the character Melissa Lier from my McBusted and Persona 5 crossover stories is based on Dahlia Hawthorne from Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations; the kind of character who is pretty looking and uses their looks to mask their sociopathic nature.
  • As you may have noticed for my McBusted and Digimon stories, I have included many references to most of the Digimon anime series, including the catchphrases, Danny Jones shattering Craniamon's shield refering to Marcus from Digimon Data Sqaud and Leomon getting killed off.
  • For my McBusted and Fire Emblem Heroes story, Camilla, Corrin or Ephraim would have been considered for Fates and Sacred Stones representation, though I've picked the year one Brave Heroes with them being the most iconic Fire Emblem characters. Dominic wasn't originally planned to appear, but I decided to add him for someone to ally with Seliph for Jugdral representation.
  • The McBusted boy's families including wives and kids would only make sparse apperances including minor roles or cameos for several reasons. Firstly, there's no guarantee that the McBusted boys would stay with their respective partners while writing my stories (but I do hope that they'll remain a happy family). Secondly, whilst I do like their respective partners and wives, I'm more of a fan of the McBusted boys in the long run. Thirdly, adding them to the main cast would bloat the cast and take away the niche. And lastly, I know little about their family at best compared to the McBusted boys (especially if their lives are more private).
  • The ending for A Very Special Busted Vs McFly story is inspired by the ending of Dexter's Laboratory episode Eww, That's Growth, with me wanting to create that kind of ending. 
  • The opening theme for most of my strories could sounds omething like Only One Story from Pokemon Horizons and the ending theme could sound similar to Message from Ace Attorney anime, espically those with emotional stories.
  • Even if a few people read my stories, it's all about expressing my creativity and imagaination as I show my love for both bands McFly and Busted and their super group McBusted and others (including Pokemon, Anakin Skywalker/Hayden Christensen and gaming), sometimes combinig them.
