* Scott Card also worked a brief writer's tenure at ''Creator/LucasArts'', writing dialogue for some of their games, including ''VideoGame/TheDig'' and the swordfighting insults in ''VideoGame/TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland''. (Technically, this makes him the TropeNamer for "YouFightLikeACow".)

* LieBackAndThinkOfEngland: Madeline has a minor freakout the first time Quentin attempts to use his tongue while kissing her, and up until their marriage displays very inconsistent responses to physical affection; Quentin wonders to himself if she had been a victim of some kind of trauma as a child. After they are married, Madeline appears to be enthusiastic when they have sex, but Quentin can tell that she's only pretending to enjoy it. The actual explanation is in the spoiler trope below.
