How 'Slice' was created. In my opinion...

Did anyone else get the impression that 'Slice' may have been written, or composed, while under the influence of Donnie Darko and Alice in Wonderland?

Here's what I think happened...

It all started on a rainy sunday afternoon, around one. It had been raining all day and there was little to do. Toby Litt, the author of 'Slice,' had been killing time all morning by reading Alice in Wonderland, and watching Donnie Darko. When he finished perusing his well-thumbed copy of Alice for the second time that day he put it down next to his laptop. Toby knew he had come across a good idea for a story with the help of his two influences, and maybe a couple others as well, but he was having trouble getting the story started.

Then an idea hit him. He'd wanted the story to be realistic and gripping, but he was having a lot of trouble with his own style. Should it be declarative and bold like Hemingway would have written it, or should it be ornate and gothic like a Bronte novel? After sufficient hemming and hawing and a little more outside influence and imagination Toby, or just Litt to his friends (as I imagine them) came up with the perfect style. He would write it in the most suspenseful, gripping way he knew. The good ole first person. With a twist.

Toby then proceeded to beast out this story of Slice, in multiple media, Jack Kerouac style, without once parting from his laptop. He finished all of the pieces of the story and then released them segment by segment, all the while creating a huge cult following. When the story finally ended, and he had nothing more to post, Toby fell back into his usual routine of 'just chillin' most of the time.

This has been my interpretation of how the story originated, and is in no way true, as far as I know. But then again, I also have no way of knowing that it isn't 100% correct either...
