So, this began with me asking a question of Austraeoh Fact Checker. The question was how many commenters have been honored over the course of the series with characters, countries, and other things. He posted a list in a comment. Someone said that it should be posted on the forum.

Then recently, I went back and looked at that list. It hasn't been updated since it was first posted. And then I discovered something.

AFC had not put down the fact that Byre Chandler was in honor of Super Trampoline. (The character's name is based off of ST's real name.)

Even AFC can make mistakes, it seems. :ajsleepy:

So I have decided to post an updated version of the list here.

Obviously, since I'm not AFC, I can't do this alone. But I can start. If any of you have info or see a mistake, post it on this thread, and I will do my best to integrate the new info and corrections.

I must thank AFC for assembling the original list. Without him, this whole concept never would've happened.

And, now, without further ado, the list.

RazgrizS57 - Razzar

Actually, I don't think I've had my time yet. This was more than likely Razalon The Lizardman. I think. Does he even read Austraeoh? If not, I retract my half-asleep thoughts.

Revan

4835899 That was on Austraeoh Fact Checker's original list. If it's wrong, then I'll correct it.

YoshiFawful64
Group Contributor

Uncr3at1ve was referenced back in Eljunbyro.
Also, it's worth noting that there were two Zettas — a stallion from Silvadel and a mare from... actually, where was she from again?

FloydienSlip
Group Contributor

You've missed one, but it's not very obvious. There's a user who goes by Uncr3at1ve who asked, back in Eljunbyro, for a name drop. Subsequently, one of the chapters in Eljunbyro is called "Uncreative Numbers."

Holy shit, didn't even catch that one. Heh, I just thought ):( was making up random noises.

I'll just sit here in the corner with a bucket of icecream

KMCA
Group Contributor

I didn't know several of these... We're missing some, I'm sure of it. I just can't figure out who.

(for the record to this day I insist that it should have been "Duke Zaap Von Nator")

KMCA
Group Contributor

4836328 Wiki is missing stuff... Like Imre.

How do you forget about Imre? I mean yeah her first appearances aren't really a big deal, but her death is kind of a thing.

Oh, and Tweak's kids. Do we have them on the list (As I recall they were named after a some guy that hates the story)

Swan Song
Group Contributor

4836362 It's a wiki. If it's missing stuff, add it in.

After all, I posted the link to inform the group that there is, in fact, a centralized location where we can, collectively, collate this info.

Said wiki page also includes a lot of other interesting info, including direct comment callouts (like the Durandanan "Light Bulb", Zadubadabu, and the kicking Zaid chapter title), and user responses after they were referenced.

Phoenix Kitten

4835949 I didn't catch it either until Fact Checker pointed it out.

Arcanist Ascendant - Arcanista

Actually, that's Duchess Arcanista to you. :pinkiehappy:

Technically, the Turtle's name is "Elma Boreal", though the character it was taken from is that long thing.

You could be:
Something's password/lock code
Money amount (314 coin, i dunno)
RD has to solve a problem about circles and pies.
Skirts finds your facebook.

The average height of those cliffs above the fjord running up towards Frostknife is 314ft, according to Robhredden Ordnance Survey statistics.
We get, like, one chapter at some point that's made up of 314 words.
The Utaan symbol will look remarkably like Pi.

See? Versatile.

Still liked Roarke the best. :twilightsmile:

RoboRed

RoboRed - Rohbredden / Midnite Bastion

I also have a third reference in Yaerfaerda: Obsidian Hope. I think it's a citadel located in Central Rohbredden or something (the council building, maybe?). It hasn't been referenced since.

Obsidian Hope is another OC of mine, like Midnite.

Lol, wow mate. Quite the dedication here! Keep up the awesome work. :heart:

Jasper Clark is also a shoutout to me, relating slightly to my real name.

Dalen Straker and Enforcer Evans are both a reference to my real name.

Twifight Sparkill

"Twifight Sparkill - Sparkill Highlands"

I loved Austraeoh so much back then. I was so emotionally involved in it; I still have new readers thanking me via PMs for posting such enthusiastic comments about it to this day! Having a personal mention in the actual piece made my fangirl head spin. Still does, really. Ah, I miss those halcyon days.

Austraeoh will always have a very special place in my heart. Always. I'm very happy there's a dedicated interest in promoting it. Well deserved.

uhhhhh, mine isn't Sam Rose. I didn't start reading until around the time Skirts was starting Yaerfaerda. My guy is in This Chapter.
I have no clue as to who Sam Rose is named after.

4837660 The guy's name is Sam. He was one of the possessed soul sentries in Val Roa.

4837680 Thank you. List corrected.

Pilate

Sam Rose is a reference to someone who doesn't comment.

Lucky Strike is a brain fart.

Foxes were likewise a brain fart.

YoshiFawful64

Actually, I just noticed you're still missing Theanim (whose name is a reference to JustAnotherTimelord).

Tchernobog

I still feel like I've gotten the best deal here, and I haven't even shown up yet! :rainbowwild:

Keebroo
Group Contributor

Heh. Always got that going for me. Good ol' timid, clueless, Keebroo.

...
Then again, the one we knew was kind of a changeling that very likely died in Amulek. Hmm.
Well, always got that that going for me.

KMCA

4836669 The crystal kids, I forget the details but I remember a guy going off on Skirts Imp and then his name got split into two characters as payback.

Serious, you forget your own kids? Moose'st people tend to at least remember the names of their spawn.

I was sure Terra was also named after a commenter, but searching the username I think I remember, there is no user with that username currently.

This is great fun. I never imagined THIS many characters were secret cameos.

YoshiFawful64

I believe that would be TerraEterna (or however it was spelled). They also had Eterna (or was it Aeterna?), the metal mare Crimson fought in Aurum, named after them.

Codaulux
Group Contributor

4843623
Prior to becoming Lux Aeterna?

remnants
Group Contributor

Remnants - Remna

.... How did I miss it. No! I missed my own reference!

But hey, surviving being ejected out an underwater city into the abyss? That's a pretty damn cool bit part.

EDIT: And also a fantastic source humourous dialogue from being puppetted by a siren.


Nightmare moon was a conspiracy, The Canterlot Wedding was an inside job, and Verlaxion is a giant space-faring dragon lizard who has manipulated our history for centuries

Leftover of Saikano
Group Contributor

4843623 Yes, I remember them as Terra Aeterna. Maybe if I read all of Eljunbyro and Innavedr comments I can find someone calling other user by that username.

Phoenix Kitten
Group Contributor

4837409 Sam Rose is named after the author Sam Rose, author of the Silent Ponyville series and the person behind the Motherly Scootaloo tumblr.

Kyron The Wise
Group Contributor

I still think to this day that the only reason I got the monk was the possibly unnecessarily pontificating I did on the philosophy in two chapters (two 6 page comments IIRC). Still happy to have been immortalized tho.

YoshiFawful64

Relevant Heavy Metal was referenced by Imre in Innavedr.

KMCA

4885202 I did? Man I really need to re-read the whole damn thing.
Nope it was Kera.
