The Dead Robots' Society

When writing a long-running series, you might be tempted to put in a nod to previous plots, characters, or events.  While hardcore readers might be amused or even gleeful by the references, do you risk alienating the casual reader? How much is too much?

We all have projects that have been put on hold for various reasons. Perhaps it was due to writer's block. Maybe they were pushed aside for a paying project, or maybe you had to abandon it for other reasons.
Regardless of why, how do you get back into the world you created? How do you breathe life back into your characters?

Terry is playing Traveler, V will be late, and Paul is available. So why not join him, ask questions, and more or less misbehave?

How often have you been disappointed by  a story that had a less-than-satisfactory ending? How do storytellers ensure that the final act lives up to the promises made in the preceding acts?
