We've had a few guesses on so of the story's Easter eggs in the comnts, but I want to see how well you can do when you actually try. So we're going to have a little contest! Here's how it will work:
1. You'll attempt to figure out the references from the songs posted online so far, with the hints below.
2. When you've got it all figured out, join the Discord and go to the-great-easter-egg-hunt channel.
3. Create a thread and post your answers. Your thread will be private, so only you and I can see it and no one can copy your answers.
4. The contest will be open for one week (until 5pm PST Feb 1st). Whoever gets the most right answers will win one month of free Patreon access (worth $10)! And I'll post the winners na in an author note so you can prove that you are the bestest. In case of any ties, whoever submitted their response first will be the winner.
5. I can't stop you from using AI, but I can tell you that in my testing both Gemini and ChatGPT failed miserably, so it probably won't help you much.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
THE CHALLENGE: There are nine possible references to guess (there are actually more if you go really deep, but we'll stick with nine). To make this semi-possible, I'm giving so hints along with the songs to pick from. Let's see what you've got!
Song List
Hints
Just Wandering Into Your Heart
Three Empty Leashes
Four Miles to Go
I Fucked a Dryad
The Ballad of the Black Razor
Patriotic Arican System, Triumphant
P.A.S.T.
Glory Ain't Knocking
Rise and Roar
Hushed Whispers
Is It War?
Simon Says Die
Three references to popular web serials (one of which you can find on RR)
Two references to video gas
Three references to movies (covered by just two songs!)
And one famous band
Of course, if you try hard enough, you (or your friendly neighborhood AI) will co up with so plausible references that I didn't intend. Those won't count, sorry. For the purposes of this contest, there is only one set of right answers to get all nine points!
Submit your list of the eight song titles along with what each one is referencing (the actual reference, not just the category) on Discord, not in the comnts (otherwise everyone will see it and it will be a very sad contest). One entry per reader! You don't need to listen to the lyrics of the songs for this contest, but the album art does help with a couple of them. To see all my posted songs with the album art, go here or search for AzureInk on your favorite streaming service.
