The inclusion of ANYTHING a fan might like without going completely ape-shit over whether or not you like it within the book is exactly why I like your writing. Whether or not you LIKE Twilight and Harry Potter don't really matter. They are things almost everyone knows about even if they don't like them, so they are fun to recognize and put together. I like that The Game is different from Quidditch but turned into a game that makes sense for the creatures that are playing it. Why would you need to fly if you can jump, run, and play smashmouth just fine while still keeping basically to the ground? And why would you need that extra ball (the snitch) ever anyway in the real world? In the original it added an element of chaos and a useable plot device that your Game just doesn't need. I'm waiting to see if The Game leaks out of Prawatt space and into the general galaxy. I think the races would be a lot less hostile if they realized that there's another game to exploit. LOL
