 * Rule 34 - Creator Reactions: Diane has admitted to have seen "icky stuff" across the internet featuring her characters, mainly Anna. She limited to reply "nothing against it, but it sorta weirds me out. But hey, it's the Internet after all and I've seen worse than that".

 * While Fluke was in production, Diane tweeted that she originally planned Anna to be either a regular college student or a fry cook at a fast food restaurant.
 * Before that, Fluke was intended to be an evil alien who wants to take over his own planet, but has to deal with his rivals who also want to take it over.

WMG
These are fan theories for Fluke.
 * Fluke (excluding Nexus) wasn't the only attempt to create an artificial creature.
 * This ended up being true, as it has revealed in The Lost Lab that there are other artificial creatures like Fluke in a lab that was abandoned after an incident caused by Erad and Purge.
