I was going to suggest tossing away any that have only 1 behind them, but all of Gher's (Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth) only have 1. We really don't know if each setting has more than one person, and while the largest samples are LotR and WoT, that doesn't mean too much in itself, since on this site, those two are the most blatant obvious random choices too. We could easily have two or three from each of those settings and the rest pciked those names out of the top of the proverbial hat.
Anyway, I'm inclined to think pressing people who picked a series no one else did might not be a bad idea, though I'm not sure where it will take us. If I were a DF, and a later submission, I'd have picked one of the larger pools. Basicaly though, everyone had to make up either two or three series, so I'm not sure there's anything surprising about the results.

I'm of the opposite idea, actually. The reason The Lord of the Rings and The Wheel of Time are so commonly cited is because they are very safe lies. While I expect there is someone from both of those series in the game, at least (and we already have a claimed Frodo), the majority are probably 'safe' second guesses. Likewise, we already knew our mod had read Twilight, so that's a safe bet.
Some of the 'only mentioned once' series are quite well known and popular, however, (I'll admit I only tossed out The Fifth Sorceress as an excuse to bash Robert Newcomb though, and it was worth it) so it seems likely that they are in the game. Unfortunately, since none of them are as safe as the previously mentioned series, everybody used those as their 'alternatives', leaving the people from these series out in the open.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.
