!!The Literature/TheHungerGames fan fiction story
* FriendlyFandoms: [=Oisin55=], Creator/{{Lorata}}, and Creator/AnlaShok, who were posting stuff at the same time, often had {{Shout Out}}s to each others work and had an overlapping fan base. *** According to an Author's Note from the story ''Checkmate'', its author, Creator/AnlaShok once requested (and received) permission to "Rip off" a speech Jason makes about the impact parcel day has on the Outer Districts from ''[[Fanfic/TheVictorsProject Fall Into the River]]'', and have Blight tell something similar to Mags as an implicit appeal to scale back on the consecutive career victories.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoment: Harry Stein's vacation in the first ''Checkmate'' run. He left it very clear to Harvey Bullock that he was not to be contacted unless it was an emergency since he was trying to reconnect with his kids, and yet it takes Bullock remarkably little time to start pestering Harry (mind, it ''was'' quite the emergency, involving a hijacked space shuttle). Meanwhile, Harry himself finds a dangerous terrorist haunting his vacation spot, and goes through merry hell to detain him without arousing his children's suspicions while ignoring Harvey's calls. At the end, all said and done, Stein relaxes on the beach with his sons. And then the stolen shuttle manages an emergency landing on said beach.

-->''Harry Stein'': I don't know how that fat slob managed it, but I almost guarantee he did it on purpose.

* SeasonalRot: Bruce Jones' run, which followed Greg Rucka's run, was universally reviled.
