Is it appropriate?
LizW65:
From what I've read on the subject, simply referencing another work is considered "fair use" and does not require permission. If you quote from someone else's work--other than in a review--that does require permission.
Dresdenus Prime:
No the book was called, "The Vulcan's Mirror," and the vague description of the story was inspired by the original trek series episode, Mirror, Mirror. You won't be disappointed when you read this one. I too picked it up from Rothfuss's recommendation.

I'd certainly not want to tick off JB; he might send round one of his villains. No, wait. It would be Fred--that's scary. WAIT, Presellie would be far worse and far more likely! Mab on steroids.
Seriously though, I'd send her a note and ask her. Jim might not mind a nod going into "Writers of the Future" at all. That's the one that the Sci Fi Writers put out right? Kinda a big thing. Congrats!

It's a contest not a sure thing regrettably. This is just an entry. Thanks though.

Ahh, well then... To be honest, I think the people making the selection probably wouldn't approve. It seems a bit like a cheap, inside joke. It's one thing if you are famous and you know JB, but other than that? I'd leave it off. If they want it? Then you can figure out if you can go back to insert it.
