I want to say a balance of both, but I feel like that is cheating :sweat_smile: But I prefer fast if the story fits better with fast. If there is a sense of urgency (e.g The world is ending, the demon lord, etc), then the story should move to accommodate for that time. Quite a few novels tend...

I see it as any reference to a piece of work: If it has a reason to be there and your audience is likely to pick it up and make some relevant connection, it is perfectly fine. Though I dislike throwaway references, like where your character randomly mentions "Hey I like X", then use it for...
