As he noted in a convention panel, [[Benj Christensen]] did not initially mean for the Infinite to be an open-source concept. However, he was surprised but happy to see other people start to use it, seemingly under the assumption that it was part of the Jenny Everywhere “package”, and eventually released it into the public domain to join Jenny herself.{{ | According to its creator [[Benj Christensen]], the Infinite made its first appearance in [[PROSE]]: ''[[Story Round 3: Jenny Everywhere (short story)|Story Round 3: Jenny Everywhere]]'', a round-robin story written by the members of the PencilJack forums which is not currently known to be extant. This being the case, the first non-missing story to feature the Infinite is [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'', following a mention in [[COMIC]]: ''[[Governing Council (comic story)|Governing Council]]''. | ||

Christensen later clarified his thoughts on the Jenny Everywhere Discord server: | |||
{{quotebox|Yes I didn’t originally plan for the Infinite to be a thing. Not in a “it’s mine, all mine” kinda way, but it was just something I did for the Penciljack writing jam that added some flavor to her shifting. | |||
I then formally used it in the Jenny Everywhere Chronicles, which then inspired another person to use it in their work. | |||
I didn’t know/expect anyone would use it. I think a lot of us were just throwing stuff out there and sometimes some of it stuck and became a part of the lore.|Benj Christensen}} | |||
Christensen also provided a description of the Infinite in [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Mind of Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|The Mind of Jenny Everywhere]]'': | |||
