Easter Eggs?

[SpaceToast]

Do people hide "easter eggs" in their stories here on Lit? Spouses' names, pets' names, allusions to cities, movie/book references, jabs at other members, etc.? I'm curious-

DVD analogy?

sure we do, well, sure I do.

I don't hide 'em.

Three Foot No-Cock Zone was highly advertised.

 

[perks]

I just KNOW that was a true story. I'm so fucking jealous of that muffin.

 

[Starblayde]

I do indeed.... many characters' names i use are italianised or germanised or brazilianised versions of my friends

John becomes Juan, Charles becomes Carlito, Paul = Paulo etc.

one sci-fi story includes a band of soldiers which is just me and my high school friends...

Makes thinking of names much easier

 

[KillerMuffin]

perky, my darling, if that story was true, do you think I'd be here or on a bed with a couple of seriously hot studs?

Neat technique, Starblayde. I think I've got three names in my new scif story (just posted, not yet approved). "Cali" is the name of an ex-coworker's dog, and "Annie Barnes" grew from the likable phrase Astronaut Annie.

The other name comes from the technique of taking an ordinary word and changing one letter; Tascam makes professional audio equipment, but "Tajcam" sounds kind of exotic and feminine, to me.

Then there's the references to "Central Dogma," but we just won't go there-

For girls' names i just pick really nice sounding names (see Laurel's thread on Names and Perceptions) In the same story i had a Kyra, Felicia, Sahsa, Tabitha... just lovely names

My narratives based on my real life experiences, with the secondaries being amalgamations of people I shared the experiences with.

The names are either, the alter egos of favorite comic book characters or non related party names in various combinations.

Is that why I'm writing sci-fi...

Kidding.

Sci-*sigh*

LMAO... you and me both, pal

I know you tease them by showing yourself in public. You've ruined them for all other women. I'm quite miffed.

If you read my stories backwards you'll find hidden messages.
