** Here's a big one: there's actually [[http://www.meltingasphalt.com/hallucinated-gods/ a theory]] saying that in ancient times, it was common (as in near-universal) for people to hallucinate voices in their heads, that served purposes such as warning them about danger, and were actually for all intents and purposes fully-fledged intelligent beings. While people thought of them as "gods", this served the same purpose as the "gut feelings" people get about things today—that is, instead of (or maybe in addition to) just getting a feeling, they'll actually hear a voice telling them something like "Run!" In short? This theory basically says that ''people used to literally hear their emotions as intelligent beings in their heads.'' In real life. Now that sounds awfully familiar.

The author has blamed this mainly on writer's block (at least with the immediate chapters, while the larger plots have been planned out) and being busy with her personal life.

** The emotions talking to Riley through an intercom? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEDQW5RhamU Turns out that was involved in one of the earlier film concepts]]. In fact, the only reason that the intercom ''isn't'' on the console in the fic was because I wasn't sure there was a place for it to fit. (Author added)

* FlipFlopOfGod: Chapter 22 gave the author a bit of trouble in terms of wording, tone, characters speaking, character intentions, etc. Especially with reviewers taking different views on the chapter. As such, the chapter went through 4 different revisions before reaching something they were more proud of serving their story going forward.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The author had several names in mind for [[spoiler:Riley's new personality island in chapter 22]], such as [[spoiler:"Depression Island", "Gloom Island", "Guilt Island", and "Apathy Island" before going with "Isolation Island"]].

*** It can really be surprising just how close the actual experiences of people with tulpas can get to some of what happens in this story. People with tulpas have very close friends who, while existing only in their minds, can think and act on their own. Many even create entire worlds where their tulpas live, and visit them there in various ways, including lucid dreaming. While there are certainly many important differences, this is incredibly similar to the experience Riley has talking to her emotions and visiting her Mind World.

* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: At first. The author's note for chapter 18 reveals that ''Intercom'' started as an attempt to write a story about Riley interacting with her emotions before anyone else. As such, the overall plot hadn't been fully planned out at the start. The first chapter was written and released well before the premier of ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'', but the finalized plot didn't materialize until after the author had seen it.
