Only months later did someone explain the subtext of the number I had innocently chosen... one which ironically only made it more appropriate.

Think Star Trek... 1701, drop the 1 and bingo!

It's his lucky number.

This is one of several Otherworlds numbers in alphanumeric code (A=1, B=2, etc.) 22 and 6 are a reference to "V6," the original name of the project.

Refers to the first divergent episode's production number, SL-317.

The last three digits of his phone number when E374 was first created.

Named for its creation date: April 6.

Suggested by the serial's original title, "The Fifth Slider."

No significance; just trying to use some number combinations that hadn't played into other Earth numbers.

The buttons that spell out 'QS6' (Quinntar's Season Six) on the author's telephone. (Yes, we realize most phones don't have a Q. His does.)

Based on the birthday of an old friend, October 14.

Based on the birthday of Sabrina Lloyd, November 20.

The date he started working for Wal-Mart (better known as the Great Satan): November 25.

Another alphanumeric code. 17 12 = QL ("Quinntum Leap.")

20 13 = TM (for writer ThomasMalthus.)

Bennish in "Summer of Love," you ask? When I first pitched this as a serious idea, Chaser suggested the Bennish involved be the Young Republican from 60's world. However, Vigeant wanted a baseline Bennish for comic purposes.

No meaning, just liked the sound of it.

Ditto.

Named in honour of the computer it was designed on... which appropriately bears a reputation as the crappiest Mac model Apple ever made, and a project in which everything possible went wrong.

Sorry, no meaning here.

Nor here.

As meaningless as "Electric Twister Acid Test."

Initially Earth 3005 on the list of pitches, I changed this to something that would look better in the styles of title graphic under consideration.

10 15 3 = JOC (Jerry O'Connell.)

It started out as 12273, but Quinn liked 4 better than 7.

sliderules had initially dubbed it E297, but that was already taken.

(shrugs) I needed a number to fill the gap between 14111 and 71999.

Refers to the date of its inception: July 19, 1999.

20 9 7 15 = TIG-O (Tigs' Otherworld.)

The first "extended" Otherworld (ie, not about Sliders.) Named after a local bus route.

It's a twin to 1125 in concept, design, and number.

Was created around the time MTV was hyping the '99 MTV Movie Awards, which were taking place on 9-9-99 (September 9, 1999).

Picked based on how the digits and their order looked in the cursive font used for the logo.
