Trivia about The Bet (fan work) includes:

Fanon Emigrant: Toltiir, cat-shaped elder god of mischief and the instigator of The Bet, effectively became a free-roaming character (much like Jenny Everywhere) used by any fan author in need of a Random Omnipotent Being with more personality than a wet paper towel. As of the 2020s he's still making appearances in fics by authors other than Sharp and his coterie, for fandoms as wide-ranging as Worm^[1].
Shipping Wars: Sharp and many of the other writers of Bet stories were firmly in the anti-Akane camp of the often volatile Ranma ½ shipping conflict of the 1990s and early 2000s; consequently Akane Tendo comes off quite badly when she appears at all.
Shout-Out:
- Right from the first Bet story there were frequent references to The Frantics' catchphrase "Boot to the head!", from their "Last Will and Temperament" and "Ti-kwon-leep" sketches.
