* [[Istanbul Not Constantinople]]: many names are traceable to influences in our history. Merovence, for instance, takes its name from the same [[wikipedia:Merovingian dynasty|dynasty of French kings]] that [[The Matrix|The Merovingian]] is named after.
* [[Literal Genie]]
* [[Mix-and-Match Critters]]: Matthew meets a "dracogriff" during the second book. The necessary [[HotImprobable Skitty-On-WailordSpecies ActionCompatibility]] is [[Deconstructed]].
* [[One of Us]]: Matthew Mantrell definitely is, and by extension Stasheff as well.

* [[Public Domain Character]]: [[Robin Hood]] and his Merry Men, [[Don Quixote]], [[A Midsummer Night's Dream|Puck]], [[wikipedia:Maxwellchr(27)Maxwell's demon|Maxwell's demon]] and more.
