| Waylon Smithers was
never meant to be a character that hung on and became a regular, it was
completely by accident. His first appearance was in a short reply to
Chanur in August of 2001, as documented below:

for After spending some time as my personal correspondent and whipping boy, the Simpsons character crossover began to appear not only in my fan fiction, but in the fan fiction of others as well. It's too late to send him back, so I guess I'll just have to keep him. Interestingly enough, Smithers hadn't been used yet in any of my fan fiction at the time that the nomination was made, nor had he been when the voting was complete. Fianna used the Smithers character in "Overdue" in October of 2001,

| 11am Mr. T and Mr. S Consultation Dr.Zhie stared across the desk in mild amusement as the next two patients came into the office. The first seemed a bit worried, looking this way and that, keeping his eyes from meeting hers. The other boldly marched himself in, flopped into one of the conference chairs (nearly breaking it), and proceeded to lift one slightly bloodied boot after the other onto the desk, where they eventually rested quite comfortably atop a pile of forms and prescription pads. "What can I do for you, gentlemen?" the doctor asked, reclining in her chair. "We've had a few things on our minds, and we thought that you could possibly help us out." Mumbled the shark, who was seated nearer to the door. "I'll do the best I can to help you out." Promised the doctor. "What's on your minds?" "We need information about birth control." The saberlion said matter-of-factly. "Any and all information that you can give us - statistics, types, risks, alternatives - everything." Dr. Zhie pushed her mane back behind her ears and leaned forward to hear better. "Excuse me, I think I'm going deaf. Could you repeat that? I could have sworn you said you needed information on birth control." "He did." Shark was twiddling his fins in his lap. "See, now that we've moved on from third base into a more intimate relationship, we need to think of these things. If we don't, it's just a matter of time before we have a small army of leathery skinned saberlions running around. Not that we don't eventually want to hear the pitter patter of little fins, but for the time being-" "Guys." Dr. Zhie came around the desk, and leaned against it when she was standing in front of them. "I don't know if you're being serious or if someone put you up to this, but neither one of you has to worry at all about birth control if you're only planning on being with each other." "You mean- we'll never have children?!" Shark seemed a bit shocked, and Thunderwolf came over to him to put a consoling arm around the fishy one's shoulder. "Not if you plan on being the only two parties involved." Thunderwolf patted the sniffling shark on the back, then looked over to the doctor. "And you knew that without doing any tests? You can just look at a couple and know that one or both parties would have no chance of conception." Dr. Zhie glanced around the room, trying to find a hidden camera or something that would tell her this was a set up. "Well, no, most of the time, it does take a few blood tests and some other things to figure that out.however, as far as I know, medical science has not yet advanced far enough to allow two males, or two females for that matter, of the same species, to procreate." "But it worked in Jurassic Park." Managed Shark from behind a tissue. "Suffice to say, it just doesn't work that way here." Explained the doctor. "So there's absolutely no way the two of us would be able to have our own bundle of joy to teach how to swim, and eventually overthrow the universe when we're too old to?" Shark asked with pleading eyes. "Hypothetically, you could have the dna from both of you combined, then inserted into an egg where all of the dna had been extracted from. The result would be a combination of both of you, although you'd have to find a female to help you out with the gestation process." Zhie pointed over to a chart on the wall. "It's very much along the lines of cloning." "So, there's no other way for us to have a child, then?" prodded Thunderwolf. "As far as I'm aware of, no. I'm sorry, if there was any way I could help the two of you out, I would." The doctor looked over to the pair, who were now both smiling - well, more like smirking- at her. "What? Did I say something funny?" And, then she understood. "Oh, hell no." "Come on, doc. You said if there was any way you could help, you would." Shark reminded her. "Number one, I meant in terms of.oh, you know damned well what I meant. Second, you couldn't pay me enough money to." The doctor was about to continue to reason three, but was cut off by the lion. "We didn't plan to pay you, we were just going to force you to do it." He told her, somewhat more cheerfully than should have been expected. "Force me to. Right. As if you'd just, I don't know, tie me to a tree and-" "I've certainly had enough practice." Thunderwolf reminded her, cracking his knuckles. |
