Trivia / Pandora's Tale

• Throw It In!: "Helpers" was originally a placeholder name, but ended up sticking because it felt like sanitized PR-speak.
• Write What You Know: The main setting, Pioneer City, is based on Salt Lake City, where Xanthippe Hutcheon lives.
• What Could Have Been:
  • The two main characters were originally part of a completely different story. Isabelle was a princess and starship captain, Pandora looked way different, and neither of them were trans.
  • The rough drafts contain some alternate dialogue.
    • In Chapter 1, Pandora's dialogues in the capsule were originally far more straightforward observations of her current situation, rather than the more self-reflective dialogue of the final draft.
