In my story "Picture Postcards from LA: Jenny," of course her phone number was '867-5309.'
What are your best easter eggs?

In Wager, Don and Maureen Helfer's daughters are Emily, Flora, and Genie. In the sequel, we learn that his sisters are Emily and Fiona.
There's a Helfer family tradition of kids with alphabetical-order first names, going back to his grandparents (who had nine children). Don's father is their fifth, Edgar.
It isn't obvious, but the Emily mentioned in Pranked: Barbie is Emily Helfer, Don's middle sister. The funny thing (to me) is that Barbie has met Emily, and knows Don Helfer (who is their neighbor, Maureen is friends with Barbie's mother, as seen in "Wager", technically a side-story to Pranked), but didn't realize they were related because Em didn't use her last name when they met at the gym.

It’s rather more obvious than an Easter Egg.
The entire premise of my story, You Belong With Me, is the Taylor Swift song of the same name. What if a) the protagonist was the man not the woman, b) what if they both realized he wanted to be with her and not the Cheer Captain? What if they needed a little help from some older people along the way?
I shifted to the summer after high school - for obvious reasons - and turned the scenario into an awkward, teen melodrama, with much fumbling and many missteps. I also reused lyrics from the song copiously.
