Inspiration Nod: Difference between revisions

* In a few ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]'' stories, [[Edgar Allan Poe]]'s C. Auguste Dupin (on whom Holmes is based) is mentioned; in one story Holmes explicitly does a trick that Dupin did in one of his stories: as they're walking along one evening, Holmes/Dupin [[Inner Monologue Conversation|responds to some unsaid thought that their walking companion had at the time]].

* ''Dickens Of The Mounted'' presents itself as the memoirs of Charles Dickens' [[Remittance Man]] son, but it's actually humorous historical fiction, which takes clear inspiration from the ''[[Flashman]]'' series, as is evident in similarly designed maps and a very similar [[Literary Agent Hypothesis]] claim by the actual author. In reference to the inspiration (and as a major "clue" the work is fictional), Flashman actually briefly appears in a [[Take That]] cameo, wherein he's presented as an [[Upper Class Twit]] suffering from various venereal diseases that would be the likely result of all of his womanizing.
