[QUOTE="SugarNinja, post: 2105199, member: 751869"] It is absolutely acceptable and often welcome in fiction to do this. Many authors have taken liberties with referencing outside works without actually naming them. Some do name them too. It's quite fun to be reading a book and see a reference to something that one is fond of. I say, "Go for it, but do it wisely." Meaning be sure you do not plagiarize or outright name anything when you don't have permission to do so. (Copyright infringements can be killer costly.) [/QUOTE]
