What is your take on easter eggs in stories, both your own and other authors’ stories?
As I write I keep using phrases and song titles in my text, though I make a point of blending it in, to make it seem natural. (At least to my mind)
Is this something readers appreciate? Or do they find it amusing?
Of course, the reference hinges upon them knowing the source material.
An example from my current project, destined for the MC category:
‘Garth pushed inside her, Pain flaring as her sphincter protested. He enhanced her Pleasure to create a counterpoint, Pain and Pleasure indeed.’
I will not divulge the reference yet, as that would kind of spoil the point.
