* The story was a sequel to [[Janea Farris]]'s short story ''Lolly Eater'', continuing the characters and setting of [[Bokuvell]] from the end of that story,<ref>[https://andrewhickey.info/2019/05/06/new-500-songs-episode-only-you/#comment-84817 Questions about the end of "Lolly Eaters"]</ref><ref>[https://deriksmith.livejournal.com/66922.html Ryan Fogarty: Wavering in Euphemism's Shadow]</ref> | * The story was purportedly a sequel to [[Janea Farris]]'s short story ''Lolly Eater'', continuing the characters and setting of [[Bokuvell]] from the end of that story,<ref>[https://andrewhickey.info/2019/05/06/new-500-songs-episode-only-you/#comment-84817 Questions about the end of "Lolly Eaters"]</ref><ref>[https://deriksmith.livejournal.com/66922.html Ryan Fogarty: Wavering in Euphemism's Shadow]</ref> allegedly one of those published in the [[Obverse Books]] ''[[Faction Paradox (series)|Faction Paradox]]'' anthology ''Wallowing in Pessimism's Mire'',<ref>[https://andrewhickey.info/2015/06/07/wallowing-in-pessimisms-mire/ Andrew Hickey: Wallowing in Pessimism's Mire]</ref> actually a long-running [[hoax]].

* [[Pyke-Xi Raul]]'s memories of his time studying at a school of [[magic]] in a parallel version of [[Earth]] match the continuity of the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' films. He mentions breaking one student's arm so he "could take his place for a bit"; this matches the third film, during which the actor for [[w:c:harrypotter:Gregory Goyle|Gregory Goyle]] broke his arm, so in action scenes his character was replaced with a new character named in the script as [[w:c:harrypotter:Pike|"Pike"]]. Similarly, he claims he was caught by a "meathead" from his Homeworld who had taken the place of a Bulgarian wizard named Victor, despite not looking anything like him, as part of a scheme to get with "Young Miss Watson"; this references how the actor for [[w:c:harrypotter:Viktor Krum|Viktor Krum]] – a Bulgarian wizard in the fourth film who takes [[w:c:harrypotter:Hermione Granger|Hermione Granger]], played by [[w:c:harrypotter:Emma Watson|Emma Watson]], to a ball – didn't match the ''Harry Potter'' novels' physical description of Krum. In its physical description of Pyke-Xi, ''Wringing Off'' describes him as resembling a fourteen-year-old boy, matching the age of Pike in the film. In this way, the story explains these casting discrepancies. | * [[Pyke-Xi Raul]]'s memories of his time studying at a school of [[magic]] in a parallel version of [[Earth]] match the continuity of the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' films.
