Yes to unintentional references. Of course, there's alwasy the problem when people don't reference something, but everyone reading/seeing it assumes they did. (Any time the number "42" is used, for examples, is an assumed reference, regardless of intent.)
Not well though out meta is sometimes the best! Because then everyone can puzzle over it together. Daunting essays are also great, but are incredibly intimidating when your own thoughts aren't as well-organized.
I WANT META ON THE TIES. COLORS ARE IMPORTANT!
Oh, man! Now I really want to put together a meta/etc. community, like a Torchwood fanfiction community for fandom discussion and cross-posted meta and questions and stuff. The only one I've ever seen was for Star Trek, and it wasn't very successful, but I love this stuff in Torchwood! *agonizes*
Eh, premises. Our fandom is 98% smut! You don't need a premise! :D :D :D
