Brisingr and its squeeful Who references
I bought Brisingr by Christopher Paolini yesterday, and squeed myself to death over the nods to DW in it - and they really are, he confirms he's a fan in the acknowledgements. It's not like a mysterious blue box appears or something, it's just that at one point Arya seems to be writing fan fic on the ground. For those who haven't read it yet / are too lazy to read it / don't like the Eragon stuff in the first place, the lines she writes are "Adrift upon the sea of time, the lonely god wanders from shore to distant shore, upholding the laws of the stars above", and "The trickster, the riddler, the keeper of the balance, he of the many faces who finds life in death and who fears no evil; he who walks through doors". I know it was pretty strange thing for him to add in, but I don't care, it definitely put a grin on my face.
