Moved to Trivia per TRS.


* AscendedFanfic: ''If I Go It Will Be Double'''s plot seems suspiciously reminiscent of the author's ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' fanfic, ''Fanfic/LifeNotAtTheFrankensteinPlace''. In some ways, the book's an improved version of the fanfic. Irrelevant scenes and confusing plot points found in the latter aren't present in the former.

''If I Go It Will Be Double'' is an Main/UrbanFantasy UrbanFantasy story by Creator/MLLanzillotta.



* Main/AddictionDisplacement: The mysterious anti-craving potion Laura drinks to combat her heroin addiction counts, kind of. It's basically sci-fi methadone.
* Main/AllGermansAreNazis: Referenced by Laura when she first meets Sam's (German-speaking) family. He denies this, though.
* Main/AscendedFanfic: ''If I Go It Will Be Double'''s plot seems suspiciously reminiscent of the author's ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' fanfic, ''Fanfic/LifeNotAtTheFrankensteinPlace''. In some ways, the book's an improved version of the fanfic. Irrelevant scenes and confusing plot points found in the latter aren't present in the former.
* Main/BilingualBonus: Auntie Emma and Uncle Henrik often speak German. Much of it's incorrect, though. The author seems to have used Google Translate.
* {{Main/Catchphrase}}: Herr Braune often says "Great Scott"... just like the similarly-named [[Film/BackTotheFuture time traveler]].
* Main/CostumePorn: Laura spends quite a bit of time describing her (sometimes clownish) outfits.
* Main/CoolOldLady: Granny, Laura's wonderfully badass grandmother.
* Main/TheFairFolk: An army of evil, well-armed fairies pursue Laura and her friends for most of the story. The Boss might also count.
* Main/TheFlapper: What Granny used to be, in her youth.
* Main/TheGhost: Though she never actually shows up, Laura's ex-roommate Mary is mentioned rather often in the narration. Laura might've had a crush on her.
* Main/GratuitousGerman: See Bilingual Bonus, above.
* Main/HomoeroticSubtext: Laura often daydreams about her old reform school roommate, Mary. Apparently they were extremely, ah, ''close''.
* Main/LongLostRelative: [[spoiler: Herr Braune aka Mr. Bradshaw]] turns out to be Sam's real father.
* Main/MadScientist: Cook's an especially benign example. Uncle Henrik might be one, too.
* Main/PopCulturedBadass: Laura's incredibly well-read and pretty brave.
* Main/ReferenceOverdosed: Well, it ''was'' written by Creator/MLLanzillotta. That's sort of expected.
* RobotBuddy: The sweet, silvery [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey nonHAL]]-[[Creator/IsaacAsimov asimov]]-[[Series/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy 42]] model android, [[Film/ForbiddenPlanet Robby]] clearly counts.
* Main/TeenPregnancy: Laurie's [[spoiler:sister Agnes]] apparently gave birth to a son in high school.
* Main/UnreliableNarrator: Laurie just might be this.
