Trivia / Nobody Dies

Go To

  • Actor Allusion:
  • Ascended Fanon: Many, many elements of the story (usually minor gags, but sometimes whole plot points) are the result of suggestions in the Spacebattles.com discussion thread.
  • Creator Backlash: The response that followed the reveal of the sort-of retcon of thirty or so chapters was quite unhealthy to the author's opinion of the story.
    Gregg: I am hesitant to get back to Eva writing in the first place, as Nobody Dies needs to die in a fucking fire.
  • Defictionalization:
    • There was talk that a fan and three friends would be Cos Playing as Gendo, Kozo, Yui and Rei and re-enacting the Driver's Training scene from chapter 19 at Mechacon 2010. Unfortunately, Gregg announced that it fell through.
    • Rei now has a GameFAQs account. Appropriately named Terrifying!Rei. GameFAQs shudders.
  • Lying Creator: Gregg. Word of God for this series is not very reliable. Exhibit A — Ichi Ikari.
  • Referenced by...:
    • A Crown of Stars: The codename of the campaign to liberate and rebuild Shinji and Asuka's world is Nobody Dies. Asuka also uses "Flurgen" like a swear-word pretty every so often.
    • Once More with Feeling: During a quad bike race between the three pilots Rei used a car transporter as a ramp to jump onto a bridge ahead of Asuka and Shinji. Both promptly stop to stare after her in shock.
  • Schedule Slip: After ch. 110, the fic went into a months-long hiatus as Gregg first got distracted by Mass Effect 3, then apparently getting caught up in planning out and writing the next section of the fic. He repeatedly said that it was not dead. In September 2012, seven months after chapter 110 was posted, Gregg said he knew how he wanted to proceed, but it would've apparently tied into the Rebuild!ND plot and readers would have had to wait for that one to get caught up first before new chapters would have been posted. After many years without one update, Gregg admitted that both ND and its rewrite were dead fics.
  • What Could Have Been: As noted on the main page, had the story continued to its original planned conclusion, part of the final battle would've been a showdown involving evil counterparts of the pilots and their Evas. Considering Unit 05 had basically become Optimus Prime, his counterpart would have been an Eva version of Megatron.
  • Word of God: There's a lot of side information that isn't spelled out in the story but has been confirmed by Gregg in the discussion threads; a lot of ideas and theories have also been disproved as well.
