I agree. I first noticed this when I read Ransom, both as a fanfic and as an original work with the serial numbers filed off. As a fanfic it was good; it had its problems, but it worked. As an original work, I just kept getting these weird "something's missing here" vibes all the time. The references were still there, at least in my opinion.
