* This is the first BCI in the "Another" series, and the first in the Paulo/Lucy focused "Another Path" series.
* Another Path was originally posted to the main website and was a part of the canonical archive, using the Paulo daydream framing to keep it "canonical". After being published in [[Volume Two]], it was eventually moved to the BCI Members' Library in 2015.
* Another Path was originally in the archive and able to stay "canon" in the sense that Paulo had actually thought about it. It would be moved to BCI in 2015, and is not considered canon.
* Its "Another X" name scheme went on to inspire the titles of multiple alternate universe stories. Stories specifically connected to this alternate universe of Paulo and Lucy's are labeled "Another Path."
* This BCI was personally commissioned by an anonymous fan.
