What counts as a full reference? Tell you what, I'll scribble down whatever I see and you can tell me what counts. :D
-Chapter titles. Particularly apt since the kindergarten counts as a prequel.
-Your opening paragraph feels like a reference to something, but I don't know what.
-Manga, Cap, Balista, and Antares are all references. ^_^
-I'm going to assume Bonsai (as in Mallorn) isn't.
-The Eye of Argon is, though.
-Flying saucer landing rigs sound like Men in Black.
-The Doctor and his companions mention frequently how much running is involved. Specifically his clone daughter Jenny, I think.
-Dumbo is a weird movie. Seriously weird. It has noooo plot.
-The Inquisition is after you.
-Ice ages are a reference to a known climate phenomenon... ;)
-You apparently got drunk on Pacific Rim references.
-I assume the test card is from something specific. You also seem to be blaming Mary Sues or the Mysterious Somebody - not sure which is better.
-The miniature giant space hamsters are of course a reference to the giant space hamster die from the unofficial gnomes expansion to TSR's classic dice collecting game Dragon Dice.
-At least three of the agent captions are references to things I don't recognise. 'Stumbled into a badfic' doesn't seem to be. And the final one references Queen Victoria's famous (and inaccurate) catchphrase.
I think that's all I caught. If there's anything in the pictures, I missed it. But Dawn's skirt is absolutely amazing.
Oh no, wait!
-You referenced the PPC!
