Because I do! All those subtle, or not-so-subtle, hints and nods to another titles and works. I love hunting for those!

For example, The Mortal Instruments, my recently discovered new fandom, greeted me with this little treat in its Book Two:

"A pair of werewolves occupied another booth. They were eating raw shanks of lamb and arguing about who would win in a fight: Dumbledore from Harry Potter books, or Magnus Bane.
"Dumbledore would totally win," said the first one. "He has the badass Killing Curse."
The second lycanthrope made a trenchant point. "But Dumbledore isn't real."
"I don't think Magnus Bane is real either," scoffed the first. "Have you ever met him?"


To avoid confusion, Magnus Bane is a character from the series...

Before this scene I've enjoyed The Mortal Instruments. Now, I love it!

What about you guys? Any references you've discovered that made you smile, laugh, or anything? I can't be the only one! :D
